Ag1-xSnSb1+xTe3 presents a rare combination of large positive thermoelectric power response coexisting with an almost metallic carrier concentration. It is proposed that this unusual state arises from a high effective mass for the hole carriers which may derive from nanostructuring in the material.

DyMnO 3 single crystals of hexagonal modification were grown for the first time by zone melting, and their anisotropic magnetic properties were studied in detail. At T ∼ 7 K, a small uncompensated magnetic moment (∼1 μ B per formula unit) is shown to occur along the hexagonal axis. At temperatures 7–45 K, a transition…
