Single crystal growth and characterization of new Zintl phase Ca<SUB>9</SUB>Zn<SUB>3.1</SUB>In<SUB>0.9</SUB>Sb<SUB>9</SUB>
Abstract
Complex Zintl phases have yielded a large variety of promising new thermoelectric materials. In this study we report the discovery of the new Zintl phase Ca<SUB>9</SUB>(Zn<SUB>1-x</SUB>In<SUB>x</SUB>)<SUB>4</SUB>Sb<SUB>9</SUB> (x ~ 0.9), needle-like crystals of which were serendipitously obtained from an In- and Sb-rich flux. Although its composition is reminiscent of Ca<SUB>9</SUB>Zn<SUB>4+x</SUB>Sb<SUB>9</SUB>, an excellent thermoelectric material with zT > 1, the substitution of In on the Zn site leads to the formation of an entirely new structure type. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a structure characterized by TSb<SUB>4</SUB> tetrahedra (T = statistically disordered Zn and In atoms) and ZnSb<SUB>3</SUB> triangular units, which share common corners to form [T<SUB>4</SUB>Sb<SUB>9</SUB>]<SUP>18-</SUP> polyanions. The average structure was found to have hexagonal symmetry. The valence electron count in this heavily-disordered structure appears to follows the Zintl-Klemm rules, suggesting semiconducting behavior. Single crystal electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient measurements support this conclusion, suggesting that the as-grown crystals are degenerate p-type semiconductors....
