Abstract: | Electrical conductivity measurements of Th3P4-type EuLn2S4 (Ln = LaGd) compounds have been made as functions of temperature and sulfur vapor pressure. These compounds are all p-type semiconductors, and their conductivities at room temperature have almost the same values for the specimens from EuLa2S4 to EuNd2S4 but increase on going from EnNd2S4 to EuGd2S4. In addition, the conductivity of EuGd2S4 is sensitive to sulfur vapor pressure and obeys the relationship . The mechanism of electrical transport in these compounds is discussed. |
