Thermoelectricity of lithium alloys at very low temperatures

Journal Article · · Philosophical Magazine

As lithium is apparently the only alkali metal which will take heterovalent impurities into solid solution, alloys with Mg, In, and Al were prepared and their absolute thermoelectric power was examined from about 0.1 to 1.2 deg K. It is found that the change of diffusion thermoelectric power of lithium on alloying is in many ways surprising, and it is discussed whether the observed behavior may reasonably be attributed to the influence of conduction electron scattering or to a change in the electron density of states of lithium.
