Abstract
KSb{sub 5}S{sub 8} and its solid solution analogs with Rb and Tl were found to exhibit a reversible and tunable glass{sup {yields}}crystal{sup {yields}}glass phase transition. Selected members of this series were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry to measure the effect of the substitution on the thermal properties. The solid solutions K{sub 1-} {sub x} Rb {sub x} Sb{sub 5}S{sub 8} exhibited clear deviations in melting and crystallization behavior and temperatures from the parent structure. The crystallization process of the glassy KSb{sub 5}S{sub 8} as a function of temperature could clearly be followed with Raman spectroscopy. The thermal conductivity of both glassy and crystalline KSb{sub 5}S{sub 8} at room temperature is {approx}0.40 W/m K, among the lowest known values for any dense solid-state material. Electronic band structure calculations carried out on KSb{sub 5}S{sub 8} and TlSb{sub 5}S{sub 8} show the presence of large indirect band-gaps and confirm the coexistence of covalent Sb-S bonding and predominantly ionic K(Tl)...S bonding. Pair distribution function analyses based on total X-ray scattering data on both crystalline and glassy K{sub 1-} {sub x} Rb {sub x} Sb{sub 5}S{sub 8} showed that the basic structure-defining unit is the same and it involves a distorted polyhedron of 'SbS{sub 7}'
