چکیده
The structural and thermoelectric properties of rare-earth (Sm)-substituted RuddlesdenPopper-type Sr3Fe2O7, Sr31xSmxFe2O7 (SSFO, x = 0, 0.1, 0.15), were investigated by measuring the temperature dependence of its crystallographic parameters, electrical conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient (S). A sharp increase in electrical conductivity (·) up to 60 S/cm (log · = 1.78 S/cm) at 400500°C occurred as a result of oxygen reduction in the x = 0 sample. S values changed from negative to positive with increasing temperature, presumably due to the increase in the number of oxygen vacancies, resulting in Fe ion hopping conduction. The introduction of Sm increased both S and ·, and the power factor of the oxide prepared with x = 0.1 was approximately fivefold higher than that of the oxide with x = 0.

Optimization of thermoelectric performance of SrSi2-based alloys via the modification in band structure and phonon-point-defect scattering
Thermoelectric properties of alkaline-earth-metal disilicides are strongly dependent on their electronic band structure in the vicinity of the Fermi level. In particular, the strontium disilicide, SrSi2 with a narrow band gap of about few tens of meV is composed of non-toxic, naturally abundant elements, and its thermoelectric properties are very sensitive to the substitution/alloying with thir...

متن کاملGrain Refinement and Enhancement of Mechanical Properties of Hot Extruded Rare-Earth Containing Magnesium Alloy
The effects of rare earth addition and hot extrusion process on the grain refinement of magnesium alloy were studied. The as-cast Mg-6Al-1Zn (AZ61) alloy had the average grain size of ~ 64 µm and its microstructure consisted of α-Mg and Mg17Al12 phase. By partial substitution of Al with Gd to reach Mg-4.8Gd-1.2Al-1Zn alloy, it was observed that the Mg17Al12 phase disappeared and two new interme...
