The thermoelectric efficiency of CdSb and solid solutions of Zn x Cd1−x Sb with hole conductivity

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on the study of transport effects in CdSb single crystals and solid solutions of ZnSb-CdSb with hole conductivity, an analysis of the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is made. The parameters, experimentally determined over a wide temperature range, are compared to the transport coefficients of a highly doped CdSb and solid solution of Zn0.2Cd0.8Sb.
