Abstract
Single‐crystal TiC exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity with a resistivity in the [100] direction of 200±20 μohm cm. The thermoelectric power ΔVT referenced against copper at room temperature is 7.8±0.6 μv/°C and indicates n‐type conduction. No hydrostatic piezoresistivity was observed. The predominant cleavage plane for single‐crystal TiC is {100}. It can be concluded from P vs T and thermoelectric data that single‐crystal TiC has metallic‐type conduction, and the predominant charge carriers are electrons.
