EFFECTS OF TRANSITION METAL SOLUTES ON THERMOELECTRIC POWER OF COPPER

The thermoelectric power (TEP) of dilute copper alloys containing transition metals of the first great period have been measured with reference to pure copper in the temperature range from 4.2 to 273°K. In the first part the description of the experimental procedure and the results are given. In the second part an interpretation is made according to the Anderson model. By combining the TEP data with previous results on the resistivity and susceptibility of the same alloys, one is able to give numerical estimates of the position and width of the virtual impurity levels. © 1969.
