Annotation On the basis of monocrystals doped with copper PbSb2T e4, the paper investigates the Hall kinetic coefficients, conductivity and thermopower and their anisotropy in the temperature range from 77 to 450 K. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the kinetic coefficients shows the necessity of taking into account the complex structure of the valence band. It reveals a strong anisotropy of the thermoelectric power, indicating a mixed scattering mechanism of holes. The study presents estimations of the scattering parameters reff. ii , the mass density of states m∗ d, the chemical potential mu0 and the energy gap E0 between the subbands of the valence band.
Key words electrical conductivity effect, Hall effects and thermoelectric power, anisotropy, valence band, scattering mechanisms, holes, mass density of states, chemical potential, energy gap.
