Experimental data for indium antimonide on the Hall‐mobility of electrons and the thermal e.m.f. in a weak magnetic field are compared with theory taking into account the non‐parabolicity of the conduction band. Formulae are deduced for the thermal e.m.f. and electron mobility for the case of a mixture of electron‐scattering mechanisms. It is then shown from the experimental data that, in doped indium antimonide crystals, mixed scattering does occur which involves impurity ions, and optical and acoustic phonons.
