Comprehensive Study of the Low-Temperature Transport and Thermodynamic Properties of the Cluster Compounds AgxMo9Se11 (3.41 ≤ x ≤ 3.78)

Abstract: We present a detailed study of the evolution of the electrical, galvanomagnetic, and thermodynamic properties of polycrystalline Ag x Mo 9 Se 11 compounds for 3.4 ≤ x ≤ 3.8 at low temperatures (2−350 K). In agreement with density functional theory calculations, the collected data show an overall gradual variation in the transport properties from metallic to semiconducting behavior on going from x = 3.4 to 3.8. The results evidence subtle variations in the electronic properties with the Ag content, typified by … Show more

“…Such feature has been observed in several families of thermoelectric compounds including cage-like materials such as clathrates or skutterudites and in materials with complex unit cells. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] SnSe follows this trend as shown in Figure 4 where a pronounced peak centered near 14 K is observed. To investigate in more detail this peak, the 3 / T C p data were fitted to the sum of a Debye contribution with two additional low-energy Einstein modes to describe the main features of the low-energy phonon spectrum.…”

“…3,22 This conclusion holds true for mixed Mo 6 and Mo 9 cluster compounds. 13,48,49 Although molybdenum clusters are connected to each other via shared chalcogen atoms, interactions between neighboring clusters are not strong enough to perturb the MO pattern of the isolated Mo 9 cluster.…”

“…21,23 In Ag x Mo 9 Se 11 , the possibility to tune the electrical properties from metallic to semiconducting by varying x enabled optimizing the carrier concentration and hence the power factor α 2 /ρ. 21,22 The combination of these properties resulted in interesting ZT values at high temperatures with a maximum of 0.65 at 800 K for x = 3.9. 21 In a continuing effort to explore these families of compounds, we tried to partially substitute Tl for Ag in Ag x Mo 9 Se 11 .…”

“…The corresponding 95 Mo nuclear shieldings were evaluated using the scalar ZORA Hamiltonian in combination with the TZ2P basis set and are compared with the GIPAW results in Figure 9. 10 ] 2− clusters, one obtains a mean and a standard deviation of −624 and 71 ppm, respectively. The former value allows us to shift the curves of Figure 5 by +51 ppm which improves by the same value the agreement between the chemical shifts calculated in acetone and acetonitrile as compared with the experimental values.…”
