摘要:

从实验和理论两方面研究了$_8$ $_{46-x}$($3.6 \leq x \leq 7$,$x$ =名义Cu含量)的I型包合物的热电性能。多晶样品通过熔融、球磨和热压或通过熔融纺丝、手磨和热压技术制备。温度依赖的电阻率,$ρ(T)$,和塞贝克系数,$S(T)$,测量揭示了所有样品的金属样行为。对于$x = 5$和6,进行密度泛函理论计算以导出生成焓和电子结构,所述电子结构用于计算玻尔兹曼输运理论内的塞贝克系数和电导率。为了模拟掺杂笼形物的性质,应用刚性带模型。在密度泛函理论结果的基础上,分析了实验观察到的整个样品系列的$ρ(T)$和$S(T)$的组成依赖性。在$600^{\circ}$ C下,熔纺样品的最高无量纲热电优值$ZT$为0.28。该系统中相对低的$ZT$值归因于过高的电荷载流子浓度。

英文摘要:

Thermoelectric properties of the type-I clathrates Ba$_8$Cu$_x$Si$_{46-x}$ ($3.6 \leq x \leq 7$, $x$ = nominal Cu content) are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The polycrystalline samples are prepared either by melting, ball milling and hot pressing or by melt spinning, hand milling and hot pressing techniques. Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity, $ρ(T)$, and the Seebeck coefficient, $S(T)$, measurements reveal metal-like behavior for all samples. For $x = 5$ and 6, density functional theory calculations are performed for deriving the enthalpy of formation and the electronic structure which is exploited for the calculation of Seebeck coefficients and conductivity within Boltzmann's transport theory. For simulating the properties of doped clathrates the rigid band model is applied. On the basis of the density functional theory results the experimentally observed compositional dependence of $ρ(T)$ and $S(T)$ of the whole sample series is analyzed. The highest dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit $ZT$ of 0.28 is reached for a melt-spun sample at $600^{\circ}$C. The relatively low $ZT$ values in this system are attributed to the too high charge carrier concentrations.
