Abstract

The electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, and thermopower of Cu0.75Ni0.125FeTe2 have been measured between 80 and 500 K. The results have been interpreted in terms of a three-band model which takes into account, in addition to the conduction band, two overlapping valence subbands. We have determined the energy spacing between the subbands (Δ0 K = 0.002 eV), its temperature coefficient (dΔ/dT = 1 × 10−4 eV/K), and the effective masses of the heavy and light holes and electrons. With the interband scattering of light holes taken into account, the conductivity has a minimum at ∼190 K.
