Low lattice thermal conductivity suppressed by Sr-deficiency in Sr0.9Ca0.1Si2

We present a study of the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity in Sr0.9-δCa0.1Si2 alloys to shed light on Sr-deficient effect on the thermoelectric performance, as characterized by the dimensionless thermoelectric figure-of-merit, ZT. It is foun...
