Abstract
The paper reports new measurements of the electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, magnetic susceptibility, and molar volume of liquid Cs-Sb alloys and, partly, Na-Sb and K-Sb alloys. From the temperature and composition dependence of the electronic properties it is concluded that typical semiconducting behavior similar to liquid chalgogen based alloy semiconductors exists over a wide composition range. The change in bonding for 0.25≦XSb≦0.5 is qualitatively discussed and it is found that these liquid alloys are not essentially ionic in character.
