Solid solution formation is a common and effective way to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity for thermoelectric materials because of additional phonon scattering by point defects and grain boundaries. In the present work we prepared In2Te3–SnTe compounds using a mild solidification technique and evaluated their thermoelectric properties in the temperature range from 318705 K. Measurements reveal that the transport properties are strongly dependent on the chemical composition  In2Te3 content, and lattice thermal conductivity significantly reduces above a minimum In2Te3 concentration, which can possibly be explained by an introduction of the vacancy on the indium sublattice and periodical vacancy planes. The highest thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of 0.19 can be achieved at 705 K, and a big improvement of In2Te3 based alloys would be expected if a proper optimization to the chemical compositions and structures were made.

AbstractBasic ideas and results which characterize quantum diffusion of defects in quantum crystals like solid helium as a new phenomenon are presented. Quantum effects in such media lead to a delocalization of point defects (vacancies, impurities etc.) and they turn into quasiparticles of a new type—defectons, which are characterized not by their position in the crystal lattice but by their quasimomentum and dispersion law. Defecton-defecton and defecton-phonon scattering are considered and an interpolation formula for the diffusion coefficient valid in all interesting temperature and concentration regions is presented. A comparison with the experimental data is made. Some alternative points of view are discussed in detail and the inconsistency of the Kisvarsanyi-Sullivan theory is shown.
