Thermoelectric power studies in liquid quenched amorphous alloys

Thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements were carried out on six samples of LQA alloys from two different series, namely FeZr and Fe(Co)B, at relatively low temperatures. A profile of the TEP shows a Gaussian trend in our observations for each specimen. The scattering centres are the major contributors to the residual TEP. Ziman theoretical model was used to estimate TEP; it is found that Ziman Theory fails to account for quantitative TEP measurements, at relatively low temperatures (77< T
