First-principles study of electronic transport and structural properties of Cu12Sb4S13 in its high-temperature phase

Abstract: We present an ab initio study of the structural and electronic transport properties of tetrahedrite, Cu12Sb4S13, in its high-temperature phase. We show how this complex compound can be seen as the outcome of an ordered arrangement of S-vacancies in a semiconducting fematinite-like structure (Cu3SbS4). Our calculations confirm that the S-vacancies are the natural doping mechanism in this thermoelectric compound and reveal a similar local chemical environment around crystallographically inequivalent Cu atoms, sh… Show more

“…In particular, this means that the high-temperature behavior is well reproduced despite the use of simplified models for the optical phonons scattering from ref . A similar behavior is also witnessed in other transport quantities that are expressed as ratios, as for example the Seebeck coefficient (see, for instance, refs , , and where various approaches are analyzed in different materials).…”
