摘要
We report thermoelectric properties of selected compounds from the Cu3SbSe4-Cu3SbS4 system. Additional phonon scattering due to the disordered arrangement of Se and S atoms reduces the lattice thermal conductivity to near its minimum possible value at high temperature. The hole concentration is optimized at approximately 2.0 x 10(20) cm(-3) by doping with 3% Ge on the Sb site. Compounds of the form Cu3Sb1-yGeySe4-xSx (x = 0.8 and 1.2, y = 0.02 and 0.03) all have dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit in excess of 0.8 at 650 K, with a maximum value of 0.89 for x = 1.2, y = 0.03.
