Abstract

The increase in the conductivity, Δσ, and the increase in the paramagnetic susceptibility, Δχ p , by the addition of noble metal solutes were experimentally studied in liquid Se-Te mixtures. The curve of Δσ versus the square root of the conductivity of solvent σ 1/2 has a broad maximum in the intermediate region where metal-nonmetal transitions gradually occur in liquid Se-Te mixtures. The trend of Δχ p versus σ 1/2 has also a broad maximum in the relatively low conductivity region. The broad maxima of Δσ and Δχ p are suggested to be closely related to the formation of the delocalized threefold site and the dangling bond state which are induced by the addition of noble metal solutes.
