Thermal Conductivities

The thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped Zn4Sb3 compounds, (Zn1–xNbx)4Sb3 (x = 0, 0.005, and 0.01), were investigated at temperatures ranging from 300 to 685 K. The results showed that by substituting Zn with Nb, the thermal conductivities of all the Nb-doped compounds were lower than that of the pristine β-Zn4Sb3. Among the compounds studied, the lightly substituted (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 compound exhibited the best thermoelectric performance due to the improvement in both its electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. Its figure of merit, ZT, was greater than the undoped Zn4Sb3 compound for the temperature range investigated. In particular, the ZT of (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 reached a value of 1.1 at 680 K, which was 69% greater than that of the undoped Zn4Sb3 obtained in this study.

High Seebeck Coefficient

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.

Jeans Criterion

The problem of radiative instability of homogeneous rotating partially ionized plasma incorporating viscosity, porosity, and electron inertia in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated. A general dispersion relation is obtained using normal mode analysis with the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem. The modified Jeans criterion of instability is obtained. The conditions of Jeans instabilities are discussed in the different cases of interest. It is found that the simultaneous effect of viscosity, rotation, finite conductivity, and porosity of the medium does not essentially change the Jeans criterion of instability. It is also found that the presence of arbitrary radiative heat-loss function and thermal conductivity modified the conditions of Jeans instability for longitudinal propagation. It is found that, for longitudinal propagation, the conditions of radiative instability are independent of magnetic field, viscosity, rotation, finite electrical resistivity, and electron inertia, but for the transverse mode of propagation it depends upon finite electrical resistivity and strength of magnetic field and is independent of viscosity, electron inertia, and rotation. From the curves we find that viscosity has a stabilizing effect on the growth rate of instability but the thermal conductivity and density-dependent heat-loss function has a destabilizing effect on the instability growth rate.

Flow Apparatus

We present data on the electrical and thermal resistivities and the thermopower of three pure Na specimens from 40 to 360 K. The measurements were made using a guarded longitudinal heat flow apparatus that had previously been calibrated with Au and Al. The specimens were placed in a vacuum environment using no solid inert liner.The electrical resistivity data indicate ΘR = 194 K. The thermal conductivity data show a 4% minimum near 70 K and an ice point value of 1.420 W/cm K. The reduced Lorenz function L/L0 agrees with published data at low temperatures but above 300 K levels off at approximately 0.91. On the basis of published data for liquid Na, L/L0 does not change by more than 3% at the melting point.The minimum in the thermal conductivity and a part of the high temperature deviations of L from L0 are tentatively ascribed to inelastic electron–phonon collisions having a characteristic temperature near that of longitudinal phonons. The possibility that electron–electron collisions further depress L at high temperatures is critically examined.

The Ideal

Measurements of the thermal conductivity from 2° to 90 ° K. and electrical conductivity from 2° to 300 ° K. are reported for vanadium, niobium, and hafnium. Although the vanadium and hafnium are not as pure as we might wish, measurements on these metals and on niobium allow a tabulation of the "ideal" electrical resistivity clue to thermal scattering for these elements from 300 ° K. down to about 20 ° K. Ice-point values of the "ideal" electrical resistivity are 18.3 μΩ-cm. for vanadium, 13.5 μΩ-cm. for niobium, and 29.4 μΩ-cm. for hafnium. Values for the "ideal" thermal resistivity of vanadium and niobium are deduced from the experimental results although for vanadium and more particularly for hafnium, higher purity specimens are required before a very reliable study of "ideal" thermal resistivity can be made. For the highly ductile pure niobium, the superconducting transition temperature, as determined from electrical resistance, appears to be close to 9.2 ° K.
