      Initial assessment of the thermoelectric properties for the mixed system K2-xRbxBi8Se13 

      Ireland, J. R.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Kanatzidis, M. G.; Kannewurf, C. R. (Affiliation: Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-3118, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Ireland, J.R.Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-3118, United States, 2002)
      In previous studies we have investigated the thermoelectric properties of undoped and doped compositions of β-K2Bi8Se13. The attempt to substitute Rb for K resulted in a different structure type, but with potentially useful ...
