Abstract

Disordered narrow-gap semiconductors have recently been investigated in the context of a search for new thermoelectric materials. Sn3P4 is a narrow-gap semiconductor exhibiting a relatively high thermal conductivity of about 8 W m−1 K−1. Upon cooling to 150 K it undergoes a remarkable transition from n-type conduction to p-type conduction.
