Abstract
The conductivity, Hall effect, and thermo-emf are reported for thin films and polycrystalline bulk specimens of Cu2Te, which is found to be an impurity semiconductor whose forbidden band has a width of 0.9–1.0 eV. The compound dissociates on vacuum evaporation, so it is very difficult to produce thin films.
