Vacancy ordering induced topological electronic transition in bulk Eu ₂ ZnSb ₂

Journal Article Yao, Honghao ; Chen, Chen ; Xue, Wenhua ; ... - Science Advances

Metal-semiconductor transitions from changes in edge chirality from zigzag to armchair were observed in many nanoribbon materials, especially those based on honeycomb lattices. Here, this is generalized to bulk complex Zintl semiconductors, exemplified by Eu₂ZnSb₂ where the Zn vacancy ordering plays an essential role. Five Eu₂ZnSb₂ structural models are proposed to guide transmission electron microscopy imaging. Zigzag vacancy ordering models show clear metallicity, while the armchair models are semiconducting with indirect bandgaps that monotonously increase with the relative distances between neighboring ZnSb₂ chains. Topological electronic structure changes based on cation ordering in a Zintl compound point toward tunable and possiblymore »« less

Role of Eu-Doping in the Electron Transport Behavior in the Zintl Thermoelectric Ca_5-x-yYb_xEu_yAl₂Sb₆ System

Journal Article Hong, Yeongjin ; Yeon, Seongbeom ; Yox, Philip ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

A series of Eu-doped Zintl compounds belonging to theCa_5-x-yYb_xEu_yAl₂Sb₆ (x = 0, 1.12; 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.63(2)) system have been successfully synthesized by both the arc-melting and the molten Pb-flux methods. All of the five title compounds initially crystallized in the Ca₅Ga₂As₆-type phase (space group Pbam, Z = 2, Pearson code oP26) and maintained their original structure even after the post-heat treatment, unlike the recently reported n-type Zintl analogues in the Ca_5-x-yYb_xRE_yAl₂Sb₆ (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm) systems, which underwent a phase transition from the Ca₅Ga₂As₆-type to the Ca₅Al₂Bi₆-type phase after annealing.

Higher thermoelectric performance of Zintl phases (Eu _0.5 Yb _0.5 ) _1−x Ca _x Mg ₂ Bi ₂ by band engineering and strain fluctuation

Journal Article Shuai, Jing ; Geng, Huiyuan ; Lan, Yucheng ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Significance The search for high-efficiency thermoelectric materials encompasses many classes of semiconductors. Zintl phases are attractive thermoelectric materials for thermoelectric applications. Here, we report the high thermoelectric performance of the rarely studied bismuth (Bi)-based Zintl phases (Eu _0.5 Yb _0.5 ) _1−x Ca _x Mg ₂ Bi ₂ with the record figure-of-merit ZT as high as 1.3 at 873 K. This ZT value is, to our knowledge, the highest ever reported in CaAl ₂ Si ₂ -based structures, especially compared with the best antimony (Sb)-based YbZn _0.4 Cd _1.6 Sb ₂ compound. Because Sb-based Zintl compounds have been studied formore »« less
