Friedel Theory of Thermoelectric Power Applied to Dilute Magnesium Alloys

Abstract
A brief review is given of several theories of the thermoelectric power of alloys. The Friedel theory which states that the parameter ΔX=(EFE0)(logΔρE) is a constant is found to hold over a relatively wide range of compositions. The constant takes on values which depend upon the valence of the solute atom. A dependence upon the atomic number (or period) of the solute is also indicated.
