The Electrical Properties of Some Complex Compounds. Part 2

Abstract

The possibility of several complex compounds being intrinsic semiconductors is discussed in the light of experimental work presented in this paper and in Part 1. It is concluded that complexes containing metal atoms in different oxidation states in crystallographically equivalent positions are capable of acting as intrinsic semiconductors. Additional support is given to the alternative structure of Vortmann's salt proposed by Brimn.
