The Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance, and thermoelectric power of several specimens of NbSe2 have been measured as a function of temperature for various crystal orientations. A range of behaviour of the Hall coefficient has been observed varying from a reversal at 27 K for the purest specimen to no temperature dependence for the most impure. The magnetoresistance shows large deviations from Kohler's rule which are correlated with the Hall reversal. The results are discussed in terms of a possible phase change or a two-band model.

Hall effect and resistivity measurements have been made in the temperature range 4.2–360 °K on several samples of n-type GaAs grown under oxygen atmosphere and without any other intentional dopings. The principal shallow donor in this material is considered to be Si. All samples exhibited impurity-band conduction at low temperature. Electron concentrations in the conduction band were calculated, using a two-band model, and then fitted to the usual equation expressing charge neutrality. A value of 2.3 × 10−3 eV was obtained for the ionization energy of the donors, for donor concentration ranging from 5 × 1015 cm−3 to 2 × 1016 cm−3. The conduction in the impurity band was of the hopping type for these concentrations. A value of 3.5 × 1016 cm−3 was obtained for the critical transition concentration of the impurity-band conduction to the metallic type.

Abstract The Ir-Fe and Ir-Ni alloy systems were studied over the whole composition range by means of the nuclear resonance absorption of the 73 keV y-rays of 193Jr and of the 14.4 keV y-rays of 57Fe. The magnetic hyperfine field at the Ir-nuclei in Ir-Ni alloys decreases approximately linearly with the Ir concentration from - 460 kOe at 4.2 K in very dilute alloys to zero at about 20 at.-% Ir. This behaviour is paralleled by the decrease of the magnetic moment per Ni atom as determined from bulk magnetization measurements. The hyperfine fields at both Ir and Fe were measured for the ferromagnetic bcc phase of the Ir-Fe system. They turned out to be virtually independent of concentration with values of about -1400 kOe and - 330 kOe, respectively. Linewidths increasing with the Ir concentration indicate a distribution of hyperfine fields. The fee phase of the Ir-Fe system has been found to be paramagnetic at 4.2 K throughout the range of its existence. The dependence of the hyperfine fields on concentration is discussed in terms of a rigid 3d-band model combined with local shielding. A discussion of the concentration dependence of the 193Ir and 57Fe isomer shifts has to take into account lattice expansion as well as band repopulation effects.

Multi-band superconductors are analyzed and the relevance of overlapping energy bands to the high-T c of these materials is studied. Within the BCS framework, a two band model with generalized Fermi surface topologies is developed. Values of the overlapped occupancy parameters for typical cuprate superconductors are obtained as a function of the ratio R and the effective coupling constant, λ, in the weak-coupling limit. The overlap scale is of the order or lower than the cutoff (Debye) energy. The typical behavior of the isotope effect is obtained. As these superconductors have transition temperatures above the phonon barrier, the results of this approach are important to the generic understanding of the high-T c superconducting mechanism.

The Seebeck coefficient (S) of Sni1-x- Tex liquid alloys was measured as a function of concentration and temperature. For 0 ≦ x <0.45 the behaviour is metallic; S values are small and negative, rising linearly with temperature. The predicted values of Ziman's theory when using the hard sphere approximation disagree with the experimental ones. The change in sign occurs for 0.45. For x = 0.5 (stoichiometric composition) the thermoelectric power decreases linearly with temperature. This fact is explained assuming a two-band model. For x ≧ 0.6 the liquid alloy becomes more semiconducting and presents a maximum in the isotherms of S for x = 0.65. For the excess tellurium concentration range we have calculated the difference EF - EV and γ/kB, assuming a S(1/T) law. The experimental values are compared with those of Dancy and Glazov.
