CuSe-based layered compound BiYOCuSe as a quasi-two-dimensional metal

arXiv:1403.7892 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.085144

Abstract

We have investigated the physical properties of a new layered oxyselenide BiYOCuSe, which crystallizes in an unusual intergrowth structure with CuSe and BiYO layers. Electric transport measurement indicates that BiYOCuSe behaves metallic. Thermal transport and Hall measurements show that the type of the carriers is hole-like and it may be a potential thermoelectric material at high temperatures. First principle calculations are in agreement with experimental results and show that BiYOCuSe is a quasi-2D metal. Further theoretical investigation suggests the ground states of the BiYOCuSe-type can be tuned by designing the blocking layers, which will enrich the physical properties of these compounds.
