  • Abstract
    We prepared high-density polycrystalline samples of Cu2Te, Tl2Te, and CuTl9Te5, and measured the thermoelectric properties. The thermal conductivity of CuTl9Te5 is very low, 0.49 Wm-1K-1 at room temperature. CuTl9Te5 indicates the relatively high figure of merit ZT because of its very low thermal conductivity. The highest ZT value is 0.38 obtained at 590 K for CuTl9Te5.
