We have investigated the electronic structure, vibrational and transport properties of boron chalcogenide BX (X = S, Se, Te) materials, which may have potential applications in high-performance thermoelectric devices.

ABSTRACTRecently, CsBi4Te6 has been reported as a high-performance thermoelectric material for low temperature applications with a higher thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT ∼ 0.8 at 225 Kelvin) than conventional Bi2-xSbzTe3-ySey alloys at the same temperature. First-principle electronic structure calculations within density functional theory performed on this material give an indirect narrow-gap semiconductor. Dispersions of energy bands along different directions in k-space display large anisotropy and multiple conduction band minima close in energy, characteristics of a good thermoelectric material.

Crystal and electronic structure, transport and energy state characteristics of the Zr1−xVx NiSn (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) thermoelectric material are investigated in the 80–400 K temperature interval. A mechanism of simultaneous generation of structural defects of the acceptor and donor nature, which determines the electric conductivity of the material, is established. It is shown that energetically expedient is a simultaneous occupation of the 4c position of Ni (3d84s2) atoms by V (3d34s2) atoms, which generates structural defects of the acceptor nature and the impurity acceptor band Ꜫ1A, as well as the 4a position of Zr (4d25s2) atoms, generating structural defects of the donor nature and the impurity donor band Ꜫ2D.
