Ruthenium silicide (Ru/sub 2/Si/sub 3/) is currently under development as a promising thermoelectric material suitable for space power applications. Key to realizing the potentially high figure of merit values of this material is the development of appropriate doping techniques. In this study, manganese and iridium have been identified as useful p- and n-type dopants, respectively. Resistivity values have been reduced by more than three orders of magnitude. Anomalous Hall effect results, however, complicate interruption of some of the results, and further effort is required to achieve optimum doping levels. (8 References).
