Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Copper-based minerals, tetrahedrites, have attracted much interest due to their good thermoelectric properties, glass-like thermal conductivity, and metal-semiconductor transition (MST) occurring at 85 K. In this work, transport and thermal properties, and crystal and phonon structures of tetrahedrites have been investigated. It was revealed that the low-energy and anharmonic vibration (rattling) of copper atom is responsible for the glass-like thermal conductivity and the MST. Furthermore, thermoelectric performance of tetrahedrite was improved by the substitutions of germanium and tin for copper. Attempts to discover high-performance "thermoelectric minerals" have been made. It was found that copper-based minerals, colusites, and mineral-related compounds, thiospinels, respectively exhibit high dimensionless figures of merit at 660K.
