- (1)
- The high-density (>96%) Sn8 bulk glass with the density of 5.5917 g/cm3 was successfully prepared by the SPS technology at 460 K, using a 5 min dwell time and 450 MPa pressure.
- (2)
- For the Sn8 bulk materials, the room-temperature thermal conductivity significantly decreased from 1.476 W m−1∙K−1 in the crystalline sample to 0.179 W m−1∙K−1 in the glass, and the Seebeck coefficient obviously increased from 35 μV∙K−1 in to 286 μV∙K−1. Thus, the glass transition of tellurium-based semiconductors could significantly degrade the phonon energy and transmission rate, presenting lower thermal conductivities and higher Seebeck coefficients, which render tellurium-based glasses appear as newly emerging thermoelectric materials.
- (3)
- Compared to the conventional tellurium-based glassy systems, the newly fabricated Sn8 bulk glass presented a high room-temperature conductivity (σ = 6.2 S∙m−1) and a large glass transition temperature (Tg = 488 K), which was expected to be a promising thermoelectric material.
