Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied thermoelectric properties of candidate Dirac electron systems with Ca 3d electrons, which are expected to show high thermoelectric performances. We prepared polycrystalline samples of antiperovskite oxide Ca3XO (X = Sn, Pb) and whisker crystals of one-dimensional Dirac electron system M4SiTe4 (M = Ta, Nb) and discovered that Ca3SnO and M4SiTe4 show high thermoelectric performances. Ternary Ca pnictides CaAgP and CaAgAs are found to be promising candidates to realize ideal line-node Dirac semimetals.
