“…w 50 K) and to possess a spinel structure which undergoes peculiar 0 The purpose of this paper is to present an investigation of the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity and thermoelectromotive force of Cu4-xMn2Te4 (-0.1 6 x 5 0.5) in a wide range of temperatures (100 to 650 K).The samples were prepared from the initial elements in an evacuated quartz ampoule at 650 C during 24 h. The analysis of the interplane distances estimated from the powder roentgenograms demonstrated that all the compositions have the spinel-typecrystallographic structure with a = 11.94 8(2). The compensation method was employed to measure the electrical conductivity, Hall effect , and thermoelectromotive force(3). 0 displays the values of the electrical conductivity and thermoelectromotive force versus x a t liquid nitrogen temperature.…”
