Abstract: A family of isostructural compounds have been prepared having the general formula AnPBmBinQ2n+m (figure 1). These compounds (figure 1) possess a NaCl lattice type structure (figure 1) as low thermal conductivity and controlled electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the electrical properties can be controlled by varying the values for n and m. These isostructural compounds can be used for semiconductor applications such as detectors, lasers and photovoltaic cells. These compounds also have enhanced thermoelectric properties making them excellent semiconductor materials for fabrication of thermoelectric devices.

Abstract: Soluble chalcogenido clusters together with transition metal ions and main group elements are shown to provide gels having interconnected, open frameworks. Following supercritical drying with liquid carbon dioxide, the chalcogels may be converted to aerogels. The aerogels possess high internal surface areas with a broad pore size distribution that is dependent upon the precursors used and the aging conditions applied. Some of the gels are encompassed by formulas such as M 4 [M' 4 Q x ] n , M 4 [M' 2 Q y ] n , M 4[ M'Q x ] n , M 3 [M"Q x ] n , or Me 2 [M"'Q x ] n , where M is a divalent, trivalent, or tetravalent metal ion; M', M", and M"' are typically Ge, Sn, P, As, Sb, Mo, or W; and Q is typically S, Se, or Te. Methods of preparing the chalcogenido clusters are also provided.
