Abstract
The thermopower of polyerystalline Pb has been measured from 4·2 to 30 K in magnetic fields up to 48 kG. The magneto-thermopower peaks at about 8 K, the maximum showing a displacement toward higher temperatures as the field increases; at lower temperatures, the field dependence of the thermopower tends to saturate. This behaviour is similar to that for uncompensated metals; any successful theory must therefore predict similar results for compensated and uncompensated metals.
