The effect of cation nonstoichiometry and variable-valence samarium ions on the thermoelectric and structural characteristics of manganese sulfide is studed. Nonstoichiometry leads to a change in the thermopower sign in the antiferromagnetic region in a magnetic field and a decrease in the thermopower in the paramagnetic region. It is shown that the thermopower and Nernst–Ettingshausen coefficient of samarium-substituted manganese sulfide change their signs in the vicinity of structural and electronic transitions established from the thermal expansion coefficient. A decrease in the sound attenuation in a magnetic field is found. A correlation between the temperatures of the change of the sign of the Nernst–Ettingshausen effect and the change in electrosound in a magnetic field is established and explained within the model of carrier diffusion in the phase transition region. The conductivity control by the ultrasound is demonstrated.
