Abstract:0.44 ]C 5 . -The title compound is synthesized from a pressed pellet of a mixture of ZrC, Al, SiC, and graphite embedded in Al4C3 powder (vacuum,1973 K, 1 h followed by sintering at about 40 MPa, 1973 K, 5 min) and characterized by powder XRD, TEM, and thermopower and electrical conductivity measurements. The compound crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3m with Z = 3. The structure is composed of electroconductive NaCl-type ZrC slabs separated by [Al 3.56 Si 0.44 ]C 3 layers. The thermoelectric properti… Show more
