| Abstract | A low lattice thermal conductivity is one of the requirements for achieving high thermoelectric figures of merit. Several low thermal conductivity materials were identified and developed over the past few years at JPL, including filled skutterudites and Zn/sub 4/Sb/sub 3/-based materials. A study of the mechanisms responsible for the high phonon scattering rates in these compounds has demonstrated that materials with highly disordered or complex structures which can accommodate additional atoms in their lattice are likely to have low lattice thermal conductivity values. Several cluster compounds, including the Chevrel phases (Mo/sub 6/Se/sub 8/-type) and Re/sub 6/Te/sub 15/, are just such materials and are currently being investigated at JPL. The crystal structures of the Chevrel phases present cavities which can greatly vary in size and can contain a large variety of atoms ranging from large ones such as Pb to small ones such as Cu. These atoms are not localized in the structure and, depending on their size, can move between different sites and may produce significant phonon scattering. Although most of the Chevrel phases studied until now were reported to be metallic, it was found that semiconducting Chevrel phases can be engineered by controlling the number of electrons per [Mo/sub 6/] cluster. Initial results obtained on some cluster Chevrel phases and Re/sub 6/Te/sub 15/ are presented and discussed. These materials possess very low thermal conductivity values (/spl sim/10 mW/cmK at 300 K) but optimization of their electronic properties will be required to achieve high thermoelectric figures of merit. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
