Abstract
IN measurements of the semiconducting properties of stannous sulphide, described some time ago1, it was found that the thermo-electric power was independent of the temperature over the temperature range whare the material displayed positive-hole impurity conduction. We have recently completed a study of cuprous oxide, between the ordinary temperature and 1,000° C., and find that its behaviour is similar.
