Electronic and ionic zeebeck coefficients in mixed conductors of Ag0.25–δCu1.75Se, Ag1.2–δCu0.8Se

详细

The paper presents the studies of ionic and electronic Zeebeck coefficients and electronic conductivity in nonstoichiometric Ag_0.25–δCu_1.75Se, Ag_1.2–δCu_0.8Se solid solutions existing on the basis of the cubic phase of copper selenide. It is shown that Ag_1.2–δCu_0.8Se is a bilateral variable composition phase manifesting inversion of the sign of predominant charge carriers under variation of the chemical composition by silver within the homogeneity region. Mobilities of electrons and electron holes are estimated on the basis of the concentration dependences.
