17. We also analyzed the TEP data for x ≥ 0.3 % using the original NG method, plotting S vs 1 / ρ at fixed T. These NG plots deviated from linearity below 140 K. We believe this is mainly caused by small-angle scattering processes having a larger effect on thermal transport than on the electrical conductivity. Using two different extrapolation procedures to take this into account, we again found a positive peak in S K (T) near 50 K.
