An α-rhombohedral boron-related compound with sulfur: Synthesis, structure and thermoelectric properties
TL;DR: The structural and thermoelectric properties of a series of icosahedral boron-rich solids, B 6 S 1/− ǫ x obtained from the elements in a Ga melt, were studied to estimate their potential as thermodynamic materials as discussed by the authors.

Photoconductivity of icosahedral Al70.5Pd21Re8.5 : Semiconductorlike behavior of quasicrystals
TL;DR: Using the modulated photocurrent method to measure physical properties in the high-structural-quality single-phase icosahedral quasicrystalline alloy Al 705 Pd 21 Re 85, the observed results were in agreement with those obtained by applying our recently developed photoconductivity model used for boron-rich semiconductors in which band-to-band photoexcitation and photo excitation from a band to localized states followed by thermal excitation to the conduction band are both considered.
