摘要
We prepared polycrystalline-sintered samples of Tl2GeTe3, Tl4SnTe3, and Tl4PbTe3 and evaluated their thermoelectric properties. Altho ugh the electrical properties of these compounds were not optimized, the dimensionless figure of merit ZT was relatively high, i.e., 0.74 at 673 K for Tl4SnTe3, 0.71 at 673 K for Tl4PbTe3, and 0.29 at 473 K for Tl2GeTe3, due to the very low lattice thermal conductivity of the compounds. Low lattice thermal conductivity appears to be closely related to the weak bonding of atoms and complex crystal structures of these compounds. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
