Abstract
Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric measurements of the intermediate phases in the Er‐Te system over the temperature range 170°K to 850°K show that in the intrinsic region the concentration of erbium atoms in the solid solution series Er2Te3‐ErTe is directly related to the number of carriers present. The erbium atoms act as impurity donors in the extrinsic region as their concentration increases from the terminal composition Er2Te3, which is p type, to ErTe which is n type.Keywords
