Abstract

The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power of pure Sb measured along the binary axis is presented in the temperature interval of 4·2-30°K. The intervalley scattering of carriers strongly affects the thermoelectric behaviour of Sb above 15°K whereas below 15°K the phonon drag effect is found to contribute to the thermoelectric power of Sb. The magnetic field dependence of the thermoelectric power up to fields of 8000 G is investigated. The low field behaviour of the thermoelectric power below 15°K is observed to be in good accord with the theoretical calculations. At high fields the thermoelectric power is observed to be negative at temperatures below 15°K.
