Article Synopsis
- Sulfides and selenides of copper and silver, particularly Ag3CuS2 (jalpaite), are studied as potential thermoelectric materials, but information on jalpaite's physical properties is limited.
- Researchers conducted theoretical and experimental studies on jalpaite's band structure, phonon spectrum, and thermoelectric properties, measuring key factors like the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity from room temperature to 600 K.
- The findings revealed significant transport properties, including a low lattice thermal conductivity, which relates to the material's complex crystal structure, and indicated that silver vacancies increase hole concentration within the material.
