Abstract
In this study, thermoelectric chalcostibite (CuSbS₂) compounds were fabricated using mechanical alloying (MA) and hot pressing (HP), and phase identification, microstructural observation, and thermal analysis were conducted. The thermal properties were then measured and compared with those of other Cu–Sb–S ternary compounds synthesized by the same solid-state process, namely, skinnerite..... More

Abstract
Famatinite (Cu₃SbS₄ ) is a promising p-type thermoelectric material because of its low lattice thermal conductivity and high Seebeck coefficient. In this study, famatinite powders, double-doped with Sn (a B^IV group element) and In (a B^III group element) to give Cu₃Sb_1-x-ySn_xIn_yS₄ (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.12 and 0.06 ≤..... More
