Thermoelectric properties and site-selective Rb+/K+ distribution in the K2-xRbxBi8Se13 series
(2003)β-K2Bi8Se13 possesses promising thermoelectric properties whereas Rb2Bi8Se13 does not. The formation of solid solutions between these two compounds was attempted to study the alkali metal distribution in the structure and ...
