Abstract

Thermal-gradient-driven steady-state transport of silver atoms in Ag(2−x)+δCuxSe (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4) alloys is studied. The composition gradient along a sample in a thermal gradient is determined to be dδ/dT = (0.2–0.6) tx 10−5 K−1. The heart of ionic transport far exceeds the heat of electronic transport and is close to the activation energy of ionic conductivity.
