Abstract

The thermal and electrical conductivities of indium and gallium antimonides were studied in both solid and liquid states. It is shown that the calculated values of the Lorentz number (L) in InSb and GaSb, unlike in metals, increase with increasing temperature after melting. An anomalous increase in L is consistent with anomalous (for melts) temperature dependences of density, viscosity, and coordination number of these melts at the same temperatures.
