摘要
A polycrystalline sample of Na2+xGa2+xSn4-x with x = 0.19 has low thermal conductivities of 0.56 and 0.58 W m-1 K-1 due to static and dynamic positional disorder of Na atoms in the crystal structure and dimensionless figures of merit (ZT values) values of 0.98 and 1.28 at 295 and 340 K, respectively. The performance is comparable to those of commercial Bi2Te3-based materials. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
