A structural change in Ca₃Co₄O₉ associated with enhanced thermoelectric properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Temperature dependent electrical resistivity, crystal structure and heat capacity measurements reveal a resistivity drop and electrical transport behavior change corresponding to a structural change near 400 K in Ca(3)Co(4)O(9). The lattice parameter c varies smoothly with increasing temperature while anomalies in a, b(1) and b(2) lattice parameters occur near 400 K. The Ca site in the Ca(2)CoO(3) block becomes distorted and a change in electrical transport behavior is found above 400 K. Resistivity and heat capacity measurements as a function of temperature under magnetic field combined with Co L-edge x-ray absorption spectra reveal only a weak spin contribution to this change. Reduced resistivity associated with the structural change enhances the thermoelectric properties at moderately high temperatures and points to the electrical transport behavior change as a mechanism for improved ZT in this thermoelectric oxide.

متن کاملInfluences of Co2+ & Er3+ Co-doping on the Structural and Physical Properties of ZnO Nanocrystals Synthesized by Hydrothermal Route
Co2+ & Er3+ co-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 180°C and pH= 12 for 48 h. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the Zn1-2xErxCoxO crystals (0.00<x≤0.035) are isostructural with ZnO. The cell parameters increase for Er3+ and Co2+ upon increasing the dopant content (x). SEM images show that doping of Er3+ and Co2+ into the sites of Zn2+ does not change the morpho...

متن کاملEffect of substrate on the atomic structure and physical properties of thermoelectric Ca₃Co₄O₉ thin films.
The incommensurately layered cobalt oxide Ca(3)Co(4)O(9) exhibits an unusually high Seebeck coefficient as a polycrystalline bulk material, making it ideally suited for many high temperature thermoelectric applications. In this paper, we investigate properties of Ca(3)Co(4)O(9) thin films grown on cubic perovskite SrTiO(3), LaAlO(3), and (La(0.3)Sr(0.7))(Al(0.65)Ta(0.35))O(3) substrates and on ...
