Electrophysical properties of the (SnSe)1−x–(SmSe)x solid solutions at high and low temperature
The temperature range of [Formula: see text] = 77–770 K in the system alloys: Holl coefficient [Formula: see text], thermo-emf [Formula: see text], electric conductivity [Formula: see text], measured [Formula: see text]-density of components and analyzed. It has been established that samarium additive atoms contain donor-type properties and the effectiveness increases with the temperature increase: up to 40% proportional to [Formula: see text] K in [Formula: see text]-type specimens, whereas in [Formula: see text]-type samples this increase is higher and covers the contents of pH varying from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. An electrical conductivity of compounds increased due to the carrier activation with further increase of temperature. The activation energy of carriers at low temperatures ([Formula: see text] K) is [Formula: see text] eV for [Formula: see text] mol.% and [Formula: see text] mol.% compounds at [Formula: see text] = 77–320 K and for [Formula: see text] mol.% and [Formula: see text] mol.% compounds are [Formula: see text] eV. [Formula: see text] const at [Formula: see text]–400 K for [Formula: see text] mol.% and [Formula: see text] mol.% compounds, and passing with minimum increases at [Formula: see text] = 400–500 K.
