摘要：

In this paper, we study theoretically the thermoelectric properties of n- and p-type PbTe in the wide temperature interval of 300-900 K. A three-band model of the PbTe electron energy spectrum is used in these calculations. The full set of the relevant kinetic characteristics is calculated including the electrical and thermal conductivities, the Seebeck coefficient, and the thermoelectric figure-of-merit. The calculated thermoelectric quantities are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
