The pressure‐assisted reaction sintering (PARS) method was used to prepare thermoelectric elements of the γ‐phase lanthanum sesquisulfide solid solution alloys which exist over a wide homogeneity range: LaSy (1.33<y<1.5). A mixture of powders of stoichiometric lanthanum sesquisulfide (La2S3) and lanthanum trihydride (LaH3) was reaction sintered in a hot‐press to make the desired composition of γ‐LaSy. This method produced black dense single‐phase γ‐LaSy pellets with a theoretical density of 97% or better. The thermoelectric properties (electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient) of the samples prepared by the PARS technique were measured. The room temperature electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of γ‐LaSy varied in a systematic manner with the electron concentration indicating that γ‐LaSy alloys behave like a simple metal. Although the current carriers appear to be quite heavy (drift mobility ∼3 cm2/V s), the temperature dependence (up to 1000 °C) of these properties of LaS1.42 were found to...
