Experimental and Theoretical Study of the “Intrinsic Contribution” to the Heat of Transport

Abstract

The thermotransport of divalent Sr, Cd and Mn ions in silver chloride and bromide has been investigated experimentally. A model for the intrinsic contribution to the heat of transport is proposed. This model is used to interpret our experiments, together with other experiments reported in the literature, namely the thermoelectric power of pure silver chloride and bromide, and the thermotransport of antimony in silver and copper metals.
