Abstract
The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of six specimens of PbS and one each of PbSe and PbTe have been measured at temperatures ranging from 4°K to 100°K. In the same temperature region the charge carrier mobility in these samples was determined from measurements of electrical resistivity and Hall coefficient. Four of the PbS samples were natural and type, while the other specimens were synthetic and type. The synthetic samples contained only a few single crystals but two of the natural specimens were highly polycrystalline.
