Thermoelectric properties and stability of glasses in the Cu‐As‐Te system

Abstract: International audienceChalcogenide glasses and more importantly their glass-ceramics counterparts have been an interesting but very peculiar class of thermoelectric materials, with inherently low thermal conductivity (<0.3 W/m.K). In this study, we report on the fabrication of glasses in the ternary system Cu-As-Te (CuxAs55-xTe45 [5≤x≤20], Cu15As85-yTey [45≤y≤70], and Cu20As80-yTey [45≤y≤65]) by melt-quenching and subsequent spark plasma sintering treatment. Their thermal and structural properties have been st… Show more

“…As shown in Figure 7, the κ was <0.21 W m −1 K −1 for all of the Ag−Ga 2 Te 3 −SnTe glassy samples in the investigated temperature interval of 303−463 K, which was lower than the κ values for Cu 30 As 10 Te 54 Se 6 (0.32 W m −1 K −1 ) samples 26 and Cu 22.5 As 17.5 Te 60 (0.35 W m −1 K −1) . 28 Slightly higher κ values were observed for A8 and A10, which clarified the role of the relatively higher densities induced by different Ag doping concentrations. Overall, the κ values of the Ag−Ga 2 Te 3 −SnTe glassy system were not affected by the chemical substitutions, which maintained the typical behavior of semiconducting chalcogenide glasses.…”

“…In order to improve the physical properties of the binary As-Te system, doping with other elements or/and heating treatment are required. For example, the electrical response of the As-Te glassy system reinforces by doping Cu, Ge, Si, or Ga elements, for this reason, the ternary alloys are beneficial in the electrical field not to mention the great benefit of these alloys, whether in the optical or thermal field [9][10][11]. The addition of such elements for forming ternary alloys leads to a change in the characteristic's temperatures such as Tg [12].…”

“…In the present case, the most straightforward way of getting element-specific information is to carry out extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements. Such information is particularly relevant to better understand the influence of the Cu content on the electrical and thermal transport properties of these glasses [13][14][15][16].…”
