The absolute thermoelectric power S of gallium single crystals has been measured over the temperature range 10-200°K. The anisotropy usual with this metal is again evident. At higher temperatures the S-T curves are linear with positive values of S; as the temperature falls below about 60°K phonon-drag effects become increasingly important, giving negative values of S. Phonon-drag peaks occur at 16·5, 23 and 15°K, respectively, in the (100), (010) and (001) crystallographic directions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
