The efficiency of thermoelectric device is determined by the material's thermoelectric figure of merit ZT=S 2 sT/k. Therefore, low thermal conductivity k is essential to achieve high ZT value. Here we show the high temperature thermoelectric properties of a Ag 9 GaTe 6 . Polycrystalline high density bulk samples of a Ag 9 GaTe 6 were prepared. The sample showed quite low thermal conductivity to be 0.25 W m -1 K -1 at room temperature, corresponding to the mean free path of phonons of around 0.4 nm. a Ag 9 GaTe 6 exhibited relatively high ZT value of ~0.36, mainly due to the low thermal conductivity.
calculations for aniline (Niu & Boggs, 1984) found that the C--N bond lies in the aromatic plane when the dihedral angle between the N lone-pair orbital and the aromatic zr orbitals is 90 ° and that the out-of-plane angle for the C--N bond increases to 2.4 ° when the dihedral angle between the orbitals is 0 °. The maximum out-of-plane angle for the C(aryl)--N bonds in the o-and p-chlorophenyl compounds is at N(3) in the p-chlorophenyl compound, where the N lone-pair/zr-orbital dihedral angle is 0 °, in qualitative agreement with the MO calculations.The CH2--N--CH2 angles in the triazacyclohexane rings are 109-3-110.8(2) ° (o-C1 compound) and 108.7-110-6 (5) Introduction. 3-Methylbenzaldehyde N-methyl-Nphenylhydrazone (Me-BMPH) and 3-methoxybenzaldehyde N-methyl-N-phenylhydrazone (MeO-BMPH) are composed of non-centrosymmetric molecules, which resemble each other in structure and electronic states, whereas the SHG (second-harmonic generation) efficiency of MeO-BMPH was found to be 12-5 times that of urea standard, while Me-BMPH showed no effect. It is known that the SHG efficiency is related not only to the hyperpolarizability/3 of a molecule but to the space symmetry of the crystal. In order to confirm these points, the crystal structures of the two compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction and the /3 values were calculated with the MO-MNDO method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
