Temperature dependencies of the electric field effect resistivity and thermoelectric properties of thin Bi-alloy wires

The temperature dependencies (4.2 - 300 K) of electrical field effect (EFE) in bismuth monocrystal wires were investigated. From our experiments on EFE the temperature ranges where /spl mu//sub n/ > /spl mu//sub p/ and /spl mu//sub n/ < /spl mu//sub p/ were defined. The influence of EFE on the thermoelectric power was studied. On the thin Bi wires have been detected essential altering of the thermoelectric power.
