Yb 14 MnSb 11 is a p-type high temperature thermoelectric material that has been shown to
have a peak zT of 1.3 at 1273 K and stable lifetime testing at that temperature for over 1500 …

Two new sodium zinc antimonides NaZn4Sb3 and HT-Na1–x Zn4–y Sb3 were synthesized
by using reactive sodium hydride, NaH, as a precursor. The hydride route provides uniform …

A new two-dimensional (2D) direct bandgap semiconductor material, 2D Mg 2 Si-111, with a
reticulated hexagonal structure and excellent photoresponse properties is predicted by …

The magnetic properties of Mg2Si‐based dilute magnetic semiconductors in Mg62X2Si32
systems (X= V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) are investigated by spin‐polarized first‐principle …

Eu5Al2Sb6 was synthesized from the elements in niobium ampoules. It crystallizes in the
orthorhombic crystal system (a= 1027.55 (7), b= 1200.28 (6), c= 1324.22 (7) pm) with space …

We have synthesized inverse-perovskite-type oxysilicides and oxygermanides represented
by R 3SiO and R 3GeO (R= Ca and Sr) and studied their characteristics in the search for …
