摘要
Mg2Si0.487-2xSn0.5(GaSb)(x)Sb-0.013 (0.04 <= x <= 0.10) solid solutions were synthesized by a B2O3 flux method followed by hot pressing. X-ray power diffraction analysis confirms that single-phased samples are obtained. It is found that the Sb-doping effectively enhances the electrical conductivity. The Seebeck coefficients increase while the electrical conductivity decreases for Mg2Si0.487-2xSn0.5(GaSb)(x)Sb-0.013 with the increase of temperature. With increasing of GaSb content the electrical conductivity first increases and then decreases. Among all the samples, Mg2Si0.287Sn0.5(GaSb)(0.1)Sb-0.013 sample has the lowest lattice thermal conductivity which is about 15% lower than that of Mg2Si0.5Sn0.5 ([11]) at room temperature. A maximum dimensionless figure of merit of 0.61 at 720 K has been obtained for Mg2Si0.327Sn0.5(GaSb)(0.08)Sb-0.013 mainly due to its high electrical conductivity, which is obviously higher than that (0.019 at 540 K) of Mg2Si0.5Sn0.5 ([11]).
