Thermal conductivity of Sn1–xMnxTe single crystals

详细

The thermal conductivity of homogeneous crystalline Sn_1–xMn_xTe samples has been measured in the temperature range 90–305 K. We have determined their electron and lattice thermal conductivities and their thermal resistivity due to structural defects. The results demonstrate that the electron thermal conductivity reaches ~50% of the total thermal conductivity in some of the samples and that structural defects make an appreciable contribution to the thermal resistivity of the crystals.
