Abstract

An account is given of thermal conductivity measurements on germanium monocrystals, both intrinsic and with high hole-conductivity. The author took mobility values, and values for the width of the forbidden zone and its dependence on temperature—all necessary for theoretical discussion of the electronic component of thermal conductivity—from the measurements of other authors, and confirmed them by comparison with his own measurements of thermoelectric force and electrical conductivity. The measured values of the electronic component of thermal conductivity, of both intrinsic and hole-conductive germanium, are about 4 times as high as those determined theoretically.
