TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the state-of-the-art in the field of thermoelectric materials with a focus on bulk inorganic materials, including powder and single crystal synthesis, error analysis, and modeling of transport data using an effective mass model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yb14MgSb11 and Ca14MgSb11—New Mg-Containing Zintl Compounds and Their Structures, Bonding, and Thermoelectric Properties
TL;DR: In this article, the first Mg-containing analogs of the Zintl phase compound Ca14AlSb11 were reported, which are isostructural with the Mg2+ compound and crystallize in the tetragonal space group I41/acd (Z = 8) and are obtained by annealing the mixture of the elements at 1075-1275 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ba2Si3P6: 1D Nonlinear Optical Material with Thermal Barrier Chains
Justin Mark,Justin Mark,Jian Wang,Jian Wang,Kui Wu,Jeane Gladys Lo,Shannon Lee,Shannon Lee,Kirill Kovnir,Kirill Kovnir +9 more
TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry reveals that Ba-2-Si-3-P melts congruently at 1373 K, suggesting that large single crystal growth may be possible, and the novel compound exhibits semiconducting properties with a calculated bandgap of 1.6 eV and experimental optical bandgap 1.88 eV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ca1–xRExAg1–ySb (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm; 0 ≤ x ≤1; 0 ≤ y ≤1): Interesting Structural Transformation and Enhanced High-Temperature Thermoelectric Performance
TL;DR: The design and synthesis of a new class of complex Zintl compounds, Ca(1-x)RE(x)Ag( 1-y)Sb (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) (P63mc, No. 186, LiGaGe-type), which exhibit a high figure of merit in the high-temperature region, suggesting that important size and electronic effects govern the formation of these multinary phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, crystal and electronic structures, and properties of the new pnictide semiconductors A2CdPn2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu; Pn = P, As).
Jian Wang,Min Yang,Ming-Yan Pan,Sheng-Qing Xia,Xutang Tao,Hua He,Gregory M. Darone,Svilen Bobev +7 more
TL;DR: UV/vis optical absorption spectra for both forms of Ca( 2)CdAs(2) show band gaps on the order of 1.0 eV, suggesting semiconducting properties, which have also been confirmed through electronic band structure calculations based on the density-functional theory.
