Abstract:The madocite Pb 17 (Sb 0.75 As 0.25) 16 S 41 was synthesized by reaction of binary compounds and densified using hot pressing. The optical band-gap, thermal stability, and temperature-dependent heat capacity and thermal conductivity are reported for the first time. The thermal properties are evaluated using the Debye model. The findings in this work lay the foundation for a more detailed understanding of the physical properties of this material, and is part of the continuing effort in investigating materials w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
