Title

Is AgCrSe2 really a liquid-like thermoelectric?

Abstract

The development of next generation thermoelectrics requires materials with extremely low thermal conductivities. Recently much attention has focussed on the so-called Phonon-Liquid Electron-Crystal concept where superionic diffusion is supposed to prevent transverse acoustic phonons from propagating, leading to ultra-low thermal conductivity. It has been suggested that AgCrSe2 is a PLEC material on the basis on unpolarised neutron-TOF data. However, there is a strong possibility that scattering attributed to diffusion is, in fact, magnetic in origin. This proposal will probe the origin of this scattering and determine if AgCrSe2 is really a liquid-like thermoelectric.
