Title: Polycrystalline ${ZrTe}_{5}$ Parametrized as a Narrow-Band-Gap Semiconductor for Thermoelectric Performance

Abstract

The transition-metal pentatellurides HfTe5 and ZrTe5 have been studied for their exotic transport properties with much debate over the transport mechanism, band gap, and cause of the resistivity behavior, including a large low-temperature resistivity peak. Single crystals grown by the chemical-vapor-transport method have shown an n-p transition of the Seebeck coefficient at the same temperature as a peak in the resistivity. We show that behavior similar to that of single crystals can be observed in iodine-doped polycrystalline samples but that undoped polycrystalline samples exhibit drastically different properties: they are p type over the entire temperature range. Additionally, the thermal conductivity for polycrystalline samples is much lower, 1.5 Wm^-1 K^-1, than previously reported for single crystals. It is found that the polycrystalline ZrTe₅ system can be modeled as a simple semiconductor with conduction and valence bands both contributing to transport, separated by a band gap of 20 meV. This model demonstrates to first order that a simple two-band model can explain the transition from n- to p-type behavior and the cause of the anomalous resistivity peak. Combined with the experimental data, the two-band model shows that carrier concentration variation is responsible for differences in behavior between samples. Using the twoband model,more »« less

Given the reasonably high zT that is comparable in magnitude for both n and p type, a thermoelectric device with a single compound used for both legs is feasible.},

Non-Fermi-liquid types of behavior associated with a magnetic quantum critical point in $Sr {({Co}_{1 - x} {Ni}_{x})}_{2} {As}_{2}$ single crystals

Journal Article Sangeetha, N. S. ; Wang, L. -L. ; Smirnov, A. V. ; ... - Physical Review B

The compound SrCo₂As₂ with the body-centered tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂ structure is known to remain paramagnetic down to a temperature T = 0.05 K, but inelastic neutron scattering studies have shown that both ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations occur in single crystals. Thus it is of interest to study how the magnetism evolves on doping SrCo₂As₂. Previous work on polycrystalline samples of Sr (Co_1-x Ni_x)₂ As₂ indicated the development of AFM order for 0 < x ≲ 0.3. Here we studied single crystals of Sr(Co_1-x Ni_x)₂ As₂ for 0 < x ≤ 1 and confirmed the occurrence of AFM order whichmore »« less

Electrical and thermal transport in van der Waals magnets $2 H − M_{x} {TaS}_{2} (M = Mn, Co)$

Journal Article Liu, Yu ; Hu, Zhixiang ; Tong, Xiao ; ... - Physical Review Research

We report a detailed study of electrical and thermal transport properties in 2H-M_x TaS₂ (M = Mn, Co) magnets where M atoms are intercalated in the van der Waals gap. The intercalation induces ferromagnetism (FM) with an easy-plane anisotropy in 2H-M_x TaS₂, but FM with a strong uniaxial anisotropy in 2H-Co_0.22TaS₂, which finally evolves into a three-dimensional antiferromagnetism (AFM) in 2H-Co_0.34TaS₂. Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity shows metallic behavior for all samples. Thermopower is negative in the whole temperature range for 2H-Co_xTaS₂, whereas the sign changes from negative to positive with increasing Mn for 2H-Mn_x TaS₂. The diffusive thermoelectric response dominates inmore »« less

Superconducting and normal state properties of the systems ${La}_{1 - x} M_{x} {Pt}_{4} {Ge}_{12}$ ( $M = Ce, Th$ )

Journal Article Huang, K. ; Yazici, D. ; White, B. D. ; ... - Physical Review B

Electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements were performed on polycrystalline samples of the filled-skutterudite systems La_1-xM_xPt₄Ge₁₂ (M = Ce, Th). Superconductivity in LaPt4Ge12 was quickly suppressed with Ce substitution and no evidence for superconductivity was found down to 1.1 K for x > 0.2. Temperature-dependent specific heat data at low temperatures for La_1-xCe_xPt₄Ge₁₂ show a change from power-law to exponential behavior, which may be an indication for multi-band superconductivity in LaPt₄Ge₁₂. A similar crossover was observed in the Pr_1-xCe_xPt₄Ge₁₂ system. However, the suppression rates of the superconducting transition temperatures, T_c(x), in the two systems are quite disparate, indicating amore »« less

Benefits of Carrier-Pocket Anisotropy to Thermoelectric Performance: The Case of $p$ -Type ${AgBiSe}_{2}$

Journal Article Parker, David S. ; May, Andrew F. ; Singh, David J. - Physical Review Applied

Here we study theoretically the effects of anisotropy on the thermoelectric performance of p-type AgBiSe₂. We present an apparent realization of the thermoelectric benefits of one-dimensional plate-like carrier pocket anisotropy in the valence band of this material. Based on first principles calculations we find a substantial anisotropy in the electronic structure, likely favorable for thermoelectric performance, in the valence bands of the hexagonal phase of the silver chalcogenide thermoelectric AgBiSe₂, while the conduction bands are more isotropic, and in our experiments do not attain high performance. AgBiSe₂ has already exhibited a ZT value of 1.5 in a high-temperature disordered fccmore »« less

Antiferromagnetism in semiconducting ${SrMn}_{2} {Sb}_{2}$ and ${BaMn}_{2} {Sb}_{2}$ single crystals

Journal Article Sangeetha, N. S. ; Smetana, V. ; Mudring, A. -V. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, crystals of SrMn₂Sb₂ and BaMn₂Sb₂ were grown using Sn flux and characterized by powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction, respectively, and by single-crystal electrical resistivity ρ, heat capacity C_p, and magnetic susceptibility χ measurements versus temperature T, and magnetization versus field M(H) isotherm measurements. SrMn₂Sb₂ adopts the trigonal CaAl₂Si₂-type structure, whereas BaMn₂Sb₂ crystallizes in the tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂-type structure. The ρ(T) data indicate semiconducting behaviors for both compounds with activation energies of ≳0.35 eV for SrMn₂Sb₂ and 0.16 eV for BaMn₂Sb₂. The χ(T) and C_p(T) data reveal antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at T_N = 110 K for SrMn₂Sb₂ and 450 K formore »« less
