Abstract

Measurements of the thermoelectric power have been carried out on Bi_1.7Pb_0.3Sr₂Ca_2-xSm_xCu₃O_y (0.0≤_x ≤2.0) specimens between 77 K and 300 K. The hole-carrier concentrations were calculated from the room-temperature thermopower values and it was found to decrease with increasing Sm concentration. The temperature variation of the thermopower is similar for all the samples and has indicated a two-band conduction. The results also have suggested an increased interaction of electrons and holes with phonons at low temperatures. The thermopower has attained a maximum value just above the transition temperature and thereafter decreased with increasing temperature. The thermopower value has also undergone a sign change at a temperature which varied systematically with Sm concentration. The results are presented and discussed.
