Electrical properties of the molten In-Te system

Abstract
The electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power of the molten In-Te system have been measured as a function of concentration and temperature. The electrical conductivity shows a minimum around the stoichiometric composition In2Te3. The temperature coefficient of the conductivity is positive between 30 and 100 at.% Te and shows a maximum at the composition In2Te3. The values of thermoelectric power are positive and large for the semiconducting region of the system.
