Influence of Ag2Te on Transport Properties of (AgS-bTe2)0.9(PbTe)0.1
Keyword(s):
The transport properties of (AgSbTe2)0.9(PbTe)0.1, namely, the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck (S) and Hall (RH) coefficients, are studied in the temperature interval 80–560 K. An endothermic peak at 410 K is found by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Sharp changes in the temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power in the region near 410 K are observed. The temperature dependence of Hall coefficient passes through maximum at ∼200 K and has negative sign. It is shown that, these peculiarities are due to the presence of the Ag2Te phase. The thermoelectric Z-factor has the maximum value of 2.7 × 10−3 K−1 at 400 K.
