The group V semimetals are first introduced by comparing their particular band structure with the more familiar typical metals or semiconductors. Recent results on the electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower of bismuth, antimony and arsenic are reviewed, with particular emphasis on measurements performed at low and ultralow temperatures. The data are analysed in terms of the peculiar features of the electron and phonon scattering, and reference is made to the band structure and rhombohedral symmetry. Recent improvements in the interpretation of the results are discussed.

Two Band Model

Data are presented for the thermal and electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of two samples of Ca (having residual resistance ratios of 10 and 70) between 30 and 300 K. Large deviations from both Matthiessen's rule and the Wiedemann–Franz relationship are observed. The former are tentatively attributed to the presence of two distinct groups of carriers in Ca, and analyzed using the two band model. The latter deviations are interpreted as the effects of band structure. The thermoelectric power of Ca is large. In many respects the transport properties of Ca appear to be similar to those of the transition metals.

Property Evaluation

Thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of high purity niobium and tantalum refractory rare metals were investigated to evaluate the physical purity. Higher purity niobium and tantalum metals showed lower hardness due to smaller solution hardening effect. Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity showed a typical metallic behavior. Remarkable decrease in electrical resistivity was observed for a high purity specimen at low temperature. However, thermal conductivity increased for a high purity specimen, and abrupt increase in thermal conductivity was observed at very low temperature, indicating typical temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for high purity metals. It can be known that reduction of electron-phonon scattering leads to increase in thermal conductivity of high purity niobium and tantalum metals at low temperature.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a well thermal transport nano materials, however, the thermal conductivity of CNTs has not been well established, only a few groups had reported experimental data and the existed simulation results ranged widely. Specially, the conclusions in low temperature section and dynamic structures were not very clearly. In this paper, the methods based on phonon scattering theory were applied to explore the thermal transport properties CNTs. The investigation was carried out under the conditions of temperature and axial strain. In the consideration of quantum effect, the thermal conductivity increased linearly with the growth of temperature in low-temperature section, and began to decrease gradually when the temperature exceeded a definite value. If an axial strain was concerned, there was an increasing trend of thermal conductivity as the stretch strain increases. However, after the strain exceeded a particular value the thermal conductivity decreased significantly. In addition, the high frequency phonon peak in PDOS was found to be an important parameter in describing thermal transport properties of dynamic structures.

ABSTRACTWe report transport properties of polycrystalline TMGa3(TM = Fe and Ru) compounds in the temperature range 313K<T<973K. These compounds exhibit semiconductorlike behavior with relatively high Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and Hall carrier concentrations at room temperature in the range of 1017- 1018cm−3. Seebeck coefficient measurements reveal that FeGa3isn-type material, while the Seebeck coefficient of RuGa3changes signs rapidly from large positive values to large negative values around 450K. The thermal conductivity of these compounds is estimated to be 3.5Wm−1K−1at room temperature and decreased to 2.5Wm−1K−1for FeGa3and 2.0Wm−1K−1for RuGa3at high temperature. The resulting thermoelectric figure of merit,ZT, at 945K for RuGa3reaches 0.18.

ABSTRACTTransport properties (thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity and thermopower) of decagonal quasicrystal d-AlCoNi, and approximant phases Y-AlCoNi, o-Al13Co4, m-Al13Fe4, m-Al13(Fe,Ni)4 and T-AlMnFe have been reviewed. Among all presented alloys the stacking direction (periodic for decagonal quasicrystals) is the most conductive one for the charge and heat transport, and the in/out-of-plane anisotropy is much larger than the in-plane anisotropy. There is a strong relationship between periodicity length along stacking direction and anisotropy of transport properties in both quasicrystals and their approximants suggesting a decrease of the anisotropy with increasing number of stacking layers.

Thermal Transport Properties

Highly dense pore structure was generated by simple sequential routes using NaCl and PVA as porogens in conventional PbTe thermoelectric materials, and the effect of pores on thermal transport properties was investigated. Compared with the pristine PbTe, the lattice thermal conductivity values of pore-generated PbTe polycrystalline bulks were significantly reduced due to the enhanced phonon scattering by mismatched phonon modes in the presence of pores (200 nm–2 μm) in the PbTe matrix. We obtained extremely low lattice thermal conductivity (~0.56 W m−1 K−1at 773 K) in pore-embedded PbTe bulk after sonication for the elimination of NaCl residue.

The Relationship

ABSTRACTQuasicrystals have properties associated with both crystalline and amorphous materials. These properties appear to be sensitive to both composition and annealing conditions. Therefore, it is important to investigate the influence of the microstructure on the electrical and thermal transport properties of quasicrystals. AlPdMn quasicrystal samples were prepared with various levels of Re substituted for the Mn (Al70Pd20Mn10−XReX) and then subjected to different annealing conditions. Electrical resistivity, thermopower and thermal conductivity were measured on each as grown and annealed sample over a broad range of temperature, 10 K < T < 300 K. The relationship between the electrical and thermal transport properties and microstructure will be presented and discussed.
