“…We do not discuss the compounds of mercury with phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony, as such compounds either are not known as yet or data about them are not verified. The compounds of antimony with zinc and cadmium are not represented in this review because their crystal structure is so different from those presented in Table I that they belong to another group of compounds whose properties are the subject of separate review articles (2).…”

“…The binary Zn-Sb system affords two semiconductor phases, ZnSb and β-Zn 4 Sb 3 , which have been known as thermoelectric materials since the 1960s [1,2]. Especially β-Zn 4 Sb 3 shows an excellent thermoelectric performance in the temperature range of 450 -650 K and has been intensively studied during the past 15 years [3,4].…”

Thermal and vibrational properties of thermoelectric ZnSb: Exploring the origin of low thermal conductivity

et al. 2015

The intermetallic compound ZnSb is an interesting thermoelectric material, largely due to its low lattice thermal conductivity. The origin of the low thermal conductivity has so far been speculative. Using multi-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction (9 -400 K) and powder X-ray diffraction (300 -725 K) measurements we characterized the volume expansion and the evolution of structural properties with temperature and identify an increasingly anharmonic behavior of the Zn atoms. From a combination of Raman spectroscopy and first principles calculations of phonons we consolidate the presence of low-energy optic modes with wavenumbers below 60 cm -1 . Heat capacity measurements between 2 and 400 K can be well described by a Debye-Einstein model containing one Debye and two Einstein contributions with temperatures Θ D = 195K, Θ E1 = 78 K and Θ E2 = 277 K as well as a significant contribution due to anharmonicity above 150 K. The presence of a multitude of weakly dispersed low-energy optical modes (which couple with the acoustic, heat carrying phonons) combined with anharmonic thermal behavior provides an effective mechanism for low lattice thermal conductivity. The peculiar vibrational properties of ZnSb are attributed to its chemical bonding properties which are characterized by multicenter bonded structural entities. We argue that the proposed mechanism to explain the low lattice thermal conductivity of ZnSb might also control the thermoelectric properties of other electron poor semiconductors, such as Zn 4 Sb 3 , CdSb, Cd 4 Sb 3 , Cd 13-x In y Zn 10 , and Zn 5 Sb 4 In 2-δ .2

“…Bearing in mind the complexity of the crystal structure of 11-V compounds (see e.g. [16]), including also those alloyed with Mn [17, 181, we have generalized the pair approximation for an arbitrary structure. In the case of CZMA, we are dealing with the tetragonal structure, isomorphic with phase a" of Cd,As, [19] and characterized by three inequivalent cation sites.…”

The specific heat of the tetragonal semimagnetic semiconductor (Cd1–x–yZnyMnx)3As2 with various compositions is measured in the temperature range 1.7 to 25 K. The total specific heat is decomposed into the magnetic and lattice contributions by using a phenomenological interpolation procedure. The magnetic contribution is analysed within our generalized pair approximation model, treating the total Mn‐Mn interaction strength as a sum of superexchange and the Bloembergen‐Rowland exchange. As a result, the values of the first nearest‐neighbour exchange constants for both mechanisms are obtained appearing to be strongly dependent on Zn content.
