The Highly Disordered Zintl Phase Ca${}_{10}$GdCdSb${}_9$ -- New Example of a p-type Semiconductor with Remarkable Thermoelectric Properties

Michael O. Ogunbunmi, Svilen Bobev

Ca${}_{10}$GdCdSb${}_9$ is a new Zintl phase with a large unit cell volume (~2500 Å3) and a very complex, disordered structure, which can drive the realization of ultralow thermal cond…
