Abstract
THE thermo-electric power of grey selenium has been accorded considerable attention in recent years, and Henisch and Francois1, among others, have carried out accurate measurements and discussed their results in terms of a simple model. We wish to report some thermo-electric results, obtained in the course of an investigation of the photo-catalytic properties of this modification of selenium, which are at variance both with common experience and with these workers' model.
