Abstract
The thermoelectric power ( theta ) of Ag4KI5and Ag4RbI5is measured between room temperature and few degrees below their melting points using silver electrodes. The behaviour of theta with temperature can be expressed by the equations - theta =0.088(103/T)+0.310(mVK-1), (40-240 degrees C) and - theta =0.086(103/T)+0.338(mVK-1), (40-225 degrees C) respectively, for the two solids. A theoretical analysis of the data gives 0.088 and 0.086 eV for the heats of transport of Ag+ions which are very close to the respective activation energies, in accordance with the prediction of the free-ion theory of Rice and Roth (1972) as well as that of the earlier theory on the heats of transport.Keywords
