摘要
The new semiconductor LiPbSb3S6 crystallizes in the space group P2(1)/c. The structure is a member of the lillianite homologous series and is composed of layers of PbS archetype Sb/Li-S separated by trigonal-prismatic-coordinated Pb/Li. Electronic band structure calculations indicate an indirect band gap, with direct gaps lying very close in energy. LiPbSb3S6 has one of the lowest thermal conductivities seen in a crystalline material, similar to 0.24 W m(-1) K-1 at room temperature, and a high resistivity, similar to 4 x 10(9) Omega.cm, and exhibits strong light absorption with a nearly direct band gap of 1.6 eV.
