The physical properties of the new TeO 2 – B2O3 – PbO2 (TBP)-based glass system, obtained from the usual melt-quench method, have been investigated taking into account the influence of the Pb ( Zr y Ti 1 - y) O 3 (PZT) ferroelectric system. A crystalline-like structure, which characterizes a glass-ceramic-like state, promoted by the ferroelectric phase, has been revealed from the X-ray diffraction results for the sample with higher PZT concentration. On the other hand, results on the dielectric response revealed noticeable dielectric anomalies, which until now have not been reported. In fact, the dielectric and ferroelectric properties suggest the existence of a structural phase transition induced by the PZT crystalline phase, which indeed have been related to the ferroelectric polar-phase regions embedded into the glass matrix.

AgBiSe2, which exhibits complex structural phase transition behavior, has recently been considered as a potential thermoelectric material due to its intrinsically low thermal conductivity. In this work, we investigate the crystal structure of Sn-doped AgBiSe2 through powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. A stable cubic Ag1−x/2Bi1−x/2SnxSe2 phase can be obtained at room temperature when the value of x is larger than 0.2. In addition, the thermoelectric properties of Ag1−x/2Bi1−x/2SnxSe2 (x = 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35) are investigated, revealing that Ag1−x/2Bi1−x/2SnxSe2 compounds are intrinsic semiconductors with a low lattice thermal conductivity. This work provides new insights into the crystal structure adjustment of AgBiSe2 and shows that Ag1−x/2Bi1−x/2SnxSe2 is a potentially lead-free thermoelectric material candidate.
