Thermopower of some amorphous transition metal-alloys

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Measurements of the thermopower for amorphous alloys are reported in the temperature range 77K to 320K. The alloys examined are Cu50Ti50, Pd80Si20, Pd30Zr70 and Cu40Zr60. The data are compared with values of similar systems, as far as available. In addition we analyse the temperature coefficient of the thermopower, applying a model, based on the Ziman formulation of the transport properties.
