Abstract

We studied the thermoelectric properties of BaSi2 and SrSi2. The polycrystalline samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The electrical resistivity (ρ), Seebeck coefficient (S), and thermal conductivity (κ) were measured above room temperature. The maximum values of the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) were 0.01 at 954 K for BaSi2 and 0.09 at 417 K for SrSi2. We tried to enhance the ZT values of BaSi2 and SrSi2 by prepareing and characterizing La-doped BaSi2 and (Ba,Sr)Si2 solid solution.
