Dumbbell rattling in thermoelectric zinc antimony.
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on thermoelectric Zn4Sb3 reveal a dominant soft local phonon mode at 5.3(1) meV. The form factor of this local mode is characteristic for dumbbells vibrating preferably along the dumbbell axis and can be related to a vibration of Sb dimers along the c axis. The Lorentzian width of the mode corresponds to short phonon lifetimes of 0.39(2) ps and yields a...

متن کاملHigh-thermoelectric performance of nanostructured bismuth antimony telluride bulk alloys.
The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth antimony telluride (BiSbTe) bulk alloys has remained around 1 for more than 50 years. We show that a peak ZT of 1.4 at 100 degrees C can be achieved in a p-type nanocrystalline BiSbTe bulk alloy. These nanocrystalline bulk materials were made by hot pressing nanopowders that were ball-milled from crystalline ingots under inert con...
متن کاملAntimony Doped P-type Zinc Oxide for Piezotronics and Optoelectronics
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to start by thanking my advisor, Dr. Zhong Lin Wang, for his support and guidance during my time here at Georgia Tech. I will never forget the trust and academic freedom he gave me to pursue a research topic that would not only be challenging, but may have proven fruitless, as it has for so many other researchers in the past. It is thanks to him that I was able...
متن کاملStructural and Electrical Characterization of Zinc Oxide Doped with Antimony
This work report on the structural and electrical characteristics of zinc oxide single crystal samples doped with antimony. Doping was carried out by antimony thermal diffusion at 1000 °C for periods of one and two hours under nitrogen environment from a solid source formed by antimony oxide. X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystalline phases in samples and the structural change owi...
