1
Electron Poor Materials Research Group EPM RG Updates of Experiments in Augsburg --- Crystallographic study of SiB 3, ZnSb… --- Synthetic attempts for B --- Property measurements of (ZnSnSb 2 ) 1-x (InSb) 2x
2
Charge Density Study by the Analysis of High Resolution Diffraction Data Bruker AXS diffractometer with Imus micro-focus X-Ray Source Ag-radiation, the same sin at much lower angle Enough data redundancy for good statistics
7
Multipole Refinement of ZnSb in Jana 2006 Diffraction data were collected at 100K with 2 up to 120 o Extinction and anharmonicity were refined before starting the multipole refinement d electrons of Zn were considered as valence electrons Multipole refinment was stopped at 2 nd order (quadruple) R=1.38% and highest peak of 0.34 e/Å 3
8
Total Density
9
Total Laplacian +/- 8, 4, 2 * 10^n and n is +/- 3, 2, 1.
11
Dumbbell Rattling?
12
Heat Capacity of ZnSb
13
Synthesis of b - SiB 3 with high pressure
14
Si 1-x Ge x B 3 Si2: 90% Ge2: 10% Si1: 84% Ge1: 16%
15
Thermoelectric Chalcopyrite (ZnSnSb 2 ) 1-x (InSb) 2x + 4Sn x = 0.9, x = 0.85, x=0.8 and InSb (quenched from 1:1 melt and Sn- flux growth)
16
