摘要

层状热电材料(LTMs)因其各向异性的输运行为而备受关注,这为我们解开相互关联的电导率和热导率提供了机会。在这项研究中,我们发现六方 CaAgSb(h-CaAgSb)与面外方向相比,在面内方向同时具有较低的晶格热导率和较高的电导率。面内晶格热导率低的主要原因是纵向声子模式的群速度较低。同时,还发现低洼光学声子模式具有很强的非谐波性。另一方面,高面内电导率依赖于较小的有效质量。因此,在最佳载流子浓度下,p 型和 n 型 h-CaAgSb 沿面内方向都表现出超过 2.0 的高 zT。这项工作中报告的 h-CaAgSb 各向异性输运特性可为实验提供指导。更重要的是,本文所揭示的电学和热学输运特性相分离的物理原理,可为寻找其他优异的低温金属和通过结构工程优化热电性能铺平道路。

Wrinkled layers lead to high in-plane zT values in hexagonal CaAgSb
Layered thermoelectric materials (LTMs) have attracted great attention due to their anisotropic transport behaviors that provide an opportunity to disentangle the interrelated electrical and thermal conductivities. In this study, we found that hexagonal CaAgSb (h-CaAgSb) possesses a lower lattice thermal conductivity and a higher electrical conductivity simultaneously along the in-plane direction when compared with the out-of-plane direction. The low in-plane lattice thermal conductivity mainly originates from the low group velocity of longitudinal acoustic phonon modes. Meanwhile, strong anharmonicity is discovered for the low-lying optical phonon modes. On the other hand, the high in-plane electrical conductivity relies on the small effective mass. Thus, both p-type and n-type h-CaAgSb exhibit a high zT over 2.0 along the in-plane direction at the optimal carrier concentrations. The anisotropic transport properties of h-CaAgSb reported in this work may provide guidance to the experiments. More importantly, the physical insights revealed for the disentangled electrical and thermal transport properties may pave the way for finding other excellent LTMs and optimizing the thermoelectric performance through structure engineering.
