　View Summary

Zintl phase compound is one of the most promising thermoelectric materials. In particular,
various high-performance thermoelectric materials were found in 122-Zintl phase compounds AM2X2 (A: alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal, M: transition metal, X: pnictogen).
Recently, we found that 143-Zintl phase compounds of RbZn4As3, whose crystal structure is close to 122-Zintl phase compounds, exhibits relatively high thermoelectric performance with the value of the dimensionless figure-of-merit (ZT) to be 0.53 (T=797K) [1]. We proposed that 143-Zintl phase compound can be a new class of high-performance thermoelectric materials.
In this study, we extended the study to Rb(Cd,Zn)4As3, where Zn was replaced by Cd to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity.
We synthesized those samples by solid-state reactions. The total thermal conductivity of RbCd4As was extremely low to be 0.83 W/mK (T=470 K) that is advantageous for achieving high ZT value. Crystal structure analysis was conducted by powder neutron diffraction measurement. The results show that Rb atoms vibrate relatively large, which can be the origin of its low lattice thermal conductivity.

　View Summary

Mixed anion layered compounds (MALCs), which contain several different anions in crystallographic sites, are novel functional materials. Indeed, high-Tc superconductors [1], high-efficient thermoelectric conversion materials [2], transparent semiconductor [3], and electrical catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction [4] have been found in MALCs. In the conference, we demonstrate a review on the MALCs and magnetic properties of a representative MALC, Sr2VFeAsO3-δ. Sr2VFeAsO3-δ is a mixed anion layered compound with a thick-blocking layer composed by a perovskite-related vanadium oxide layer. In 2019, an electric and magnetic phase diagram as a function of oxygen deficiency (δ) on superconducting Sr2VFeAsO3-δ was experimentally demonstrated. In this study, the magnetic stability of V and Fe in Sr2VFeAsO3-δ (δ = 0, 0.25, 0.50) was theoretically verified based on the density functional theory. Stable magnetic phases of the V are antiferromagnetic ordered phase between two ferromagnetic V magnetic layers (so-called A-AFM) for δ = 0. And the stable magnetic phases of V are ferrimagnetic ordered phase (Ferri.) for δ = 0.25, 0.50. Magnetic phases of Fe are a stripe-type antiferromagnetic ordered phase (s-AFM) in δ = 0, 0.25, 0.50, although the magnetic phases of the Fe with δ = 0.25 shows almost the same formation energy between s-AFM and paramagnetic (PM) ordered phases. Theoretical magnetic ordered phases are qualitatively consistent with the experimental electronic and magnetic phase diagrams for Sr2VFeAsO3-δ, although quantitative differences appear between measured for amounts of element specific magnetic moments and theoretical ones.

　View Summary

Several mixed anion layered compounds (MALCs) exhibit relatively high figure of merit (ZT).[1,2] Experimental and theoretical researches expect a promising functionality for the MALCs as thermoelectric materials, [3,4] however detailed carrier-doping mechanism and relations between crystallographic defect and resistivity are still controversial for representative mixed anion layered compounds, polycrystalline LaCu(S, Se)O bulk.[5,6,7,8] In the symposia, we demonstrate thermoelectric properties of polycrystalline LaCu(S, Se)O with a little deficient in Cu site.

　View Summary

Layered oxychalcogenide RETMChO (RE: rare-earth, TM: transition metal, Ch: chalcogen) is known as a compound that exhibits various electronic properties such as transparent p-type conductivity and high thermoelectric efficiency. The crystallographic structure of RETMChO can be composed by variety of elements, which are replacd by several RE and TM as cations and Ch as anions. Furthermore, the carrier transport is seemed as two-dimensional because the carrier-conducting TMCh layer and the carrier-blocking REO layer are sandwiched in an unit cell. In the unit cell, a square lattice is formed by TM of the constituent elements. LaCuChO is a a representative RETMChO. In 2000-2010, several reserchers had tryed to generate p-type carrier in LaCuChO using aliovalent ion doping in the insulating TMCh layer. Hiramatsu et al. and Goto et al. reports that Cu deficient is a dominant factor to generate p-type carriers in LaCuChO. [H. Hiramatsu, T. Kamiya, T. Tohei, E. Ikenaga, T. Mizoguchi, Y. Ikuhara, K. Kobayashi, and H. Hosono, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132, 15060 (2010). Y. Goto, M. Tanaki, Y. Okusa, T. Shibuya, K. Yasuoka, M. Matoba, and Y. Kamihara, Appl. Phys. Lett. 105, 022104 (2014).]
In this study, polycrystalline LaCuS0.25Se0.75O samples were synthesized via solid state reaction. Purity of the obtained bulk samples was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using CuK radiation (Rigaku Rint 2500). Total diffuse reflectance spectra were measured using a spectrometer equipped with integrating sphere (Hitachi High-Tech, U-4100). Electrical resistivity (r) was measured by the four-probe method. Thermal conductivity (k) and seebeck coefficient (S) were measured by the steady state method to evaluate dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of the samples. The samples exhibit optical band gap ~ 2.83 eV. Broad optical absorption around 2.3 eV was also observed indicateing in-gap states due to Cu deficiency. r = 55 Ωcm, k = 5.2 Wm-1K-1, S = 339 micro VK-1, giving ZT ~ 2•10-5 at 673 K.
