Electronic transport properties of intermediately coupled superconductors: PdTe

We have investigated the electrical resistivity (1.8–480 K), Seebeck coefficient (2.5–300 K) and thermal conductivity (2.5–300 K) of PdTe2 and 4% Cu intercalated PdTe2 compounds. The electrical resistivity for the compounds shows a Bloch-Gruneisen–type linear temperature (T) dependence for $100\ \text{K}<T<480\ \text{K}$ , and Fermi liquid behavior $(\rho (T) \propto T^{2})$ for $T
