| Research Abstract |
We have synthesized the materials with cubic complex crystal structure ; spinels Cu_yFe_4Sn_<12> X_<32>(X=S, Se) and tetrahedrites Cu_<12-x> Tr_xSb_4S_<13>(Tr : Transition metal) and have investigated their thermoelectric properties. The result of study for spinels gave us information that the variable-range hopping conductors have a potential to be a good high-temperature thermoelectric material. Furthermore, we newly demonstrated that the tetrahedrites exhibit high thermoelectric performance due to the quite low lattice thermal conductivity.
