The electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, and thermoelectric power of thorium carbonitride solid solutions ranging in composition from ThC0.778N0.108 to ThC0.029N0.937 were measured from 4.2°K to about 400°K. A maximum was observed in each property as nitrogen was substituted for carbon. The results were compared with results on nonstoichiometric thorium monocarbide and thorium mononitride.
