Conductivity, electrical single carrier

By analyzing the temperature dependence of the electrical properties, using our results (Fig. 5) and published data [9,10], another characteristic feature of the structure of CrSi2 crystals becomes apparent, which makes the energy spectrum of valence electrons in this compound more precise. A calculation of the lattice thermal conductivity of single crystals, taken as the difference between the total and electronic thermal conductivities (Fig. 5), as a function of temperature, shows that it decreases continuously up to the maximum measurement temperature. This Indicates the absence of an additional heat transfer component due to ambipolar diffusion of carriers [18] in the intrinsic conduction range.
