Thermoelectric power generation is foreseen to play a much larger role in the near future,
considering the need for alternative energies because of declining natural resources as well …

Complex Zintl phases, especially antimony (Sb)-based YbZn0. 4Cd1. 6Sb2 with figure-of-
merit (ZT) of∼ 1.2 at 700 K, are good candidates as thermoelectric materials because of …

A large variety of different interactions between the chalcogen atoms, Q, occur in the solid
state structures of polyselenides and polytellurides, including both molecular and infinite …

Highly-accurate computational predictions of suitable thermoelectric materials have sparked
interest in discovering new Zintl phases. We report a detailed first-principles study to …

Thermoelectric materials are capable of converting a temperature gradient into electricity
(thermoelectric power generation) and vice versa (Peltier cooling). The thermoelectric power …

The need of alternative “green” energy sources has recently renewed the interest in
thermoelectric (TE) materials, which can directly convert heat to electricity or, conversely …

Heavily doped compounds Mo3Sb7− xTex (x= 0, 1.0, 1.4, 1.8) were synthesized by solid
state reaction and sintered by spark plasma sintering. Both X-ray diffraction and electron …

In nanocomposites consisting of a semiconductor matrix embedded with different kinds of
semiconductors, two types of heterojunctions are configured theoretically. The potential …

We report the syntheses, electronic properties, and molecular structures of a series of
polychalcogenido-bridged dinuclear uranium species. These complexes are supported by …
