Abstract
The Hall coefficient and the conductivity have been measured as a function of temperature for liquid Au2Te, CuTe and AgTe and as a function of temperature and composition for the liquid alloy systems Bi-Te and Tl-Te. The electrical properties of liquid Cu-Te, Ag-Te and Tl-Te seem to resemble those of a heavily doped semiconductor. The thermoelectric power data of Cutler and Mallon and of Dancy suggest that both p and n-type conduction occurs in these materials, depending on the composition. By contrast the Hall coefficient appears to be consistently negative and several explanations of this discrepancy are discussed.Keywords
