PbTe, thermoelectric properties, scattering mechanismsAbstract
The results of studies of structural and thermoelectric properties obtained by the powder pressing method of PbTe samples are presented. In order to interpret the obtained results, a theoretical calculation of the specific conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient was performed on the basis of a model that takes into account two types of free charge carriers. Conclusions have been made about the mechanisms of carrier scattering.
