Ga填充n型方钴矿化合物的结构及热电性能

用熔融退火结合放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术制备了具有不同Ga填充含量的Ga_xCo₄Sb₁₂方钴矿化合物,研究了不同Ga含量对其热电传输特性的影响规律. Rietveld结构解析表明,Ga占据晶体学2a空洞位置,Ga填充上限约为0.22,当Ga的名义组成x≤0.25时,样品的电导率、室温载流子浓度N_p随Ga含量的增加而增加,Seebeck系数随Ga含量的增加而减小. 室温下霍尔测试表明,每一个Ga授予框架0.9个电子,比Ga的氧化价态Ga³⁺小得多. 由于Ga离子半径相对较小,致使Ga填充方钴矿化合物的热导率κ及晶格热导率κ_L较其他元素填充的方钴矿化合物低. 当x＝0.22时对应的样品在300K时的热导率和晶格热导率分别为3.05Wm^-1·K^-1和 2.86Wm^-1·K^-1.在600K下Ga_0.22Co_4.0Sb_12.0样品晶格热导率达到最小,为1.83Wm^-1·K^-1,最大热电优值Z,在560K处达1.31×10^-3K^-1. 关键词： skutterudite化合物 Ga原子填充 结构 热电性能

CaCO₃的掺入会导致CdO多晶载流子浓度降低, 使Cd_1-xCa_xO的电阻率ρ和塞贝克系数的绝对值|S|增大、电子热导率κ_e减小. 同时, 在CdO中掺入CaCO₃会引入点缺陷和气孔并可抑制CdO晶粒长大、晶界增多, 从而增加了对声子的散射, 使样品的声子热导率κ_p减小. 由于总热导率的大幅降低, Cd_0.99Ca_0.01O多晶样品在1000 K时的热电优值ZT可达0.42, 比本征CdO提高了约27%, 为迄今n型氧化物热电材料报道的最好结果之一.

Thermal conductivity of GexSb(As)ySe100‐x‐y glasses measured by Raman scattering spectra

We systematically measured thermal conductivity of Ge_xSb(As)₁₀Se_90−x, Ge_xSb₁₅Se_85−x, and Ge_xSb(As)₂₀Se_80−x chalcogenide glasses by measuring their Stokes and anti‐Stokes Raman scattering spectra and estimating the temperature raised by laser irradiation via the ratio of Stoke and anti‐Stokes scattering cross‐section. We aimed at demonstrating the viability of Raman scattering method for thermal conductivity measurements, and understanding the role of chemical composition in determining thermal conductivity of the chalcogenide glasses. We found that, while the values of the thermal conductivity measured in the paper are in a range from ~0.078 to 1.120 Wm^‐1K^‐1 that are in agreement with those reported data in the literatures, thermal conductivity increases before it reaches a maximum at the glass with chemically stoichiometric composition, and then decreases with increasing Ge content. We ascribed the threshold behavior of the thermal conductivity to the demixing of the structural units like GeSe₂, As₂Se₃ and Sb₂Se₃ from the main glass network. The present study demonstrated that Raman scattering method is simple and easy to measure thermal conductivity of the material. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermoelectric properties of n-type Sr x M y Co4Sb12 (M=Yb, Ba) double-filled skutterudites

Alkaline-earth (AE) and rare-earth (RE) atoms are usually used as void fillers in the caged compound CoSb₃ to improve the thermoelectric performance of the filled system. Polycrystalline single-filled Sr_0.21Co₄Sb₁₂, double-filled Sr _x Yb _y Co₄Sb₁₂, and Sr _x Ba _y Co₄Sb₁₂ skutterudites have been synthesized. Rietveld structure refinement confirms that both Sr and Yb occupy the Sb-icosaedron voids in skutterudite frame work. In this paper, we report the high-temperature thermoelectric properties including electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Double filling of the Sr–Yb combinations shows a stronger suppression on lattice thermal conductivity than that of Sr–Ba combination. Furthermore, the double-filled Sr _x Yb _y Co₄Sb₁₂ skutterudites exhibit a much higher power factor than the Sr-filled system. The maximum power factor for Sr_0.22Yb_0.03Co₄Sb_12.12 reaches 41 μW cm⁻¹ K⁻² at room temperature and 57.5 μW cm⁻¹ K⁻² at 850 K, respectively. The enhanced thermoelectric figures of merit are 1.32 for Sr _x Yb _y Co₄Sb₁₂ and 1.22 for Sr _x Ba _y Co₄Sb₁₂ at 850 K, respectively.     

Effects of double filling of Pb and Ba on thermoelectric properties of PbxBayCo4Sb11.5Te0.5 compounds by HPHT

Skutterudite compounds Pb_xBa_yCo₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5 (x≤0.23,y≤0.27) with bcc crystal structure have been prepared by the high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) method. The study explored a chemical method for filling Pb and Ba atoms into the voids of CoSb₃ to optimize the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT in the system of Pb_yBa_xCo₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5. The structure of Pb_xBa_yCo₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5 skutterudites was evaluated by means of X-ray diffraction. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and power factor were performed from room temperature to 710 K. Compared with Co₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5, the thermal conductivity of Pb and Ba double-filled samples was reduced evidently. Among all filled samples, Pb_0.03Ba_0.27Co₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5 showed the highest power factor of 31.64 μW cm⁻¹ K⁻² at 663 K. Pb_0.05Ba_0.25Co₄Sb_11.5Te_0.5 showed the lowest thermal conductivity of 2.73 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ at 663 K, and its maximum ZT value reached 0.63 at 673 K.

Theoretical prediction of structural, electronic and optical properties of quaternary alloy Zn1-xBexSySe1-y

Within density functional theory based on the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave method, we carry out the first-principles calculation of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of the zinc blende quaternary alloy Zn_1-xBe_xS_ySe_1-y. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation based on the optimization of total energy and the Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation based on the optimization of the corresponding potential are used. Our investigation on the effect of the composition on lattice constants, bulk modulus, band gap, optical dielectric constant, and refractive index shows a non-linear dependence. The energy gap E_g(x, y) has been determined over the entire compositions x and y. In addition, the energy band gap of the technologically important quaternary alloy Zn_1-xBe_xS_ySe_1-y in conditions of being lattice matched to ZnS substrate has been investigated. It is noteworthy that the present work is the first theoretical study of the quaternary alloy of interest.     

Effect of microstructure on thermoelectric properties of CSD-grown Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films

Three Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y thin films with different microstructures have been prepared by chemical solution deposition on LaAlO₃(001) through varying the annealing temperature. With the decrease in the annealing temperature, both the size and c-axis alignment degree of grains in the film decrease as well, leading to an increase in the film resistivity. In addition, the decrease in the annealing temperature also results in a slight increase in the seebeck coefficient due to the enhanced energy filtering effect of small-grain film. The nanostructured Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y film with the average grain size of about 100 nm shows a power factor comparable to that of the films with larger grains. Since the thermal conductivity of the nanostrcutured films can be depressed due to the enhanced phonon scattering by grain boundary, a higher figure of merit is expected in Bi₂Sr₂Co₂O_y thin film with grains in nanometer size.     

组合结构化合物Ho2Ni7-xFex(x=0-3.0)的晶体结构、结构转变和磁性

在金属间化合物的结构演变中,原子尺寸因素起着重要的作用.由于密堆积效应,不同原子半径比的元素往往形成不同的结构.而自由电子填充于原子构成的晶体结构的间隙中,它对化合物的结构也有影响.基于组合结构化合物Ho2Ni7-xFex,结合原子尺寸与自由电子对晶体结构的不同影响,文章探讨一种单位体积内自由电子浓度的经验方法来判断Ho2Ni7-xFex化合物中两种异构体间的转变.随着Fe含量的增加,Ho2Ni7-xFex化合物先结晶成Gd2Co7型三方结构,然后结晶成Ce2Ni7型六方结构.利用Rietveld精修技术和磁测量,获得了化合物的晶体结构参数和饱和磁化强度.化合物晶胞常数随Fe含量增加而增加,饱和磁化强度则随之减少(dMs/dx=-2).分析结果表明,单位体积内自由电子浓度更高,化合物形成三方结构,反之则形成六方结构.
