Abstract
The experimental data on the thermovoltaic effect in bulk samples of samarium sulfide (SmS) are considered in this work in accordance with the represented kinetic model. The kinetic laws of the elementary process of samarium ions ionization have been studied, expressions are obtained for both the dynamics of the ionization process and the process statics in the context of the law of mass action in bulk samples of samarium sulfide. Such a description of the thermovoltaic effect made it possible to obtain the current-voltage characteristics of the samples at a constant temperature. All basic parameters were obtained for the thermovoltaic generator being developed: short circuit current and open circuit voltage; the internal resistance of the generator as well as the maximum power dissipation at the found load resistance was determined by calculation.
