The thermoelectric power of magnesium-cadmium alloys is measured relative to that of pure copper at temperatures between room temperature and 300 deg C. The measurements are made over the entire range of composition, and the data are analyzed by a band-model approximation to obtain information about the band structure of the magnesium -- cadmium alloys. The thermoelectric power at 300 deg C as a function of composition has a smooth nature, although the thermoelectric power at room temperature has three maxima and two minima. For compositions corresponding to the ordered phase, anomalies in the thermoelectric power are observed at the transition point. The results indicate that there is no evidence of any extinction or initiation of a band by the alloying. The situation of the Fermi level in A-overlap is discussed. (auth)
