Abstract
The thermoelectric power of europium has been determined between 10 and 300°K using samples in the well-annealed, as-received and highly strained conditions. The effect on the thermoelectric power of the transition to antiferromagnetism below 88.8±0.1°K and of magnon drag at lower temperatures is discussed and compared with deductions made from accompanying resistivity data. The temperature at which a small anomaly, caused by an impurity, occurs in the most strained sample (25°K) is lowered to 18°K as the sample strain and probably also hydrogen contamination decreases. The nature of this behavior is discussed.
