Microstructures, electrical transport and magnetic properties of Sr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] ceramics are investigated. With Co doping, the Sr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] ceramics remain tetragonal structure while the grain size is decreased with doping. Magnetic moment is enhanced with Co doping and ferromagnetism is observed at low temperatures for Co-doped Sr[Formula: see text]TiO[Formula: see text]. The Sr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] and Sr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] show semiconductor-like transport properties, which can be well fitted by Mott variable range hopping model. The results will provide an effective route to synthesize Sr[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] ceramics as well as to investigate the physical properties.

In Cu2Se, the structural fluctuation of the Cu sites have minor effects on the electronic structures around valence band maximum. The electrical transport properties of Cu2Se are mainly determined by the Se sublattice; Cu atoms serve as the carrier reservoirs.

AbstractThe ternary skutterudites AB1.5Q1.5 (A = Co, Rh, Ir, B =Ge, Sn and Q = S, Te) have been synthesized and structurally characterised. Powder diffraction data are consistent with the presence of anion ordering, which results in a lowering of the symmetry from cubic to rhombohedral. The ordered skutterudite structure contains rhomboidal four-membered B2Q2 rings, instead of the homonuclear rectangular rings found in binary skutterudites. The electrical transport properties of the AB1.5Q1.5 phases are consistent with semiconducting behaviour, and large values of the Seebeck coefficient have been observed for several of these materials. While their large electrical resistivities might make these materials unsuitable for thermoelectric applications unless significant improvements can be achieved by doping, these materials also exhibit significantly lower thermal conductivities than their binary counterparts.
