The Structure of Isoenergetic Surfaces of Bi at the L-Maximum

Abstract

Magneto-thermoelectric properties of the semimetal Bi provide information not only about the scattering of carriers, but also about the number and relative localization of band extrema in k-space. Conclusion about the structure of the valence band can be drawn from therotation curves of the magnetico-thermo-e.m.f. and the conditions of the commutation effect arising in BiSn alloys. This paper with the above mentioned proprties of the alloy Bi – 0, 3 at Sn.
