Experimental determination of the transport coefficients of bismuth in the range 1·5–50 K

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

A method has been developed for the simultaneous measurement of several different transport coefficients on a sample. Experiments were performed on a Bi single crystal at temperatures 1·5–50 K. Six transport properties were measured, including the electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower. A set of quantities related to transport integrals of the phenomenological transport theory has been determined from experimental data. All the possible transport coefficients can be calculated from them. The possibilities of the determination from experiments of the full tensorial transport integrals for an anisotropic material like Bi are discussed.
