Thermoelectric Power and an Order-Parameter Associated with the Phase Transition at 180 K of the Organic Metal, (DMET)2Au(CN)2

Abstract
The thermoelectric power of (DMET) 2 Au(CN) 2 was measured between liquid nitrogen and room temperatures. The metallic nature and the hole-like character of the conduction carriers were confirmed. A small anomaly due to the phase transition at 180 K was detected in the temperature dependence. A tentative estimate is made of an order-parameter associated with the phase transition.
