General Description

Ytterbium phosphide is a chemical compound composed of ytterbium and phosphorus, with the chemical formula YbP. It is a rare-earth metal phosphide that is typically a gray or black solid at room temperature. Ytterbium phosphide is insoluble in water and reacts with acids to produce phosphine gas. It is primarily used in the manufacturing of semiconductor materials and as a dopant in optical and electronic devices. Ytterbium phosphide also has potential applications in thermoelectric materials, magnetic materials, and as a phosphorus source in chemical synthesis. Due to its unique properties and potential applications, ytterbium phosphide is an area of ongoing research and development.

Thermal Properties of Heavy Fermion Compound YbP

Low-temperature specific heat and its field-dependence up to 16T was measured in a stoichiometric single crystal of YbP. A sharp peak was observed at TN = 0.53 K in zero magnetic field. Application of external field seems to induce a new magnetic phase above 11T. The field dependence of the transition temperature in the high-field phase is different from that of the low field phase. The linear coefficient of the electronic specific heat is estimated as 120 mJ/mol·K2 from low temperature specfic heat, suggesting heavy Fermion state in YbP.

Influence of YbP on the thermoelectric properties of n-type P doped Si95Ge5 alloy

Since the report of high zT in Si95Ge5 there has been significant interest in low Ge alloy compositions for thermoelectric applications. The application of YbP was explored as a means to lower thermal conductivity. A series of 3% pho

Synthesis and structural characterization of the ternary Zintl phases AE3Al2Pn4 and AE3Ga 2Pn4 (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu; Pn=P, As)

Ten new ternary phosphides and arsenides with empirical formulae AE 3Al2Pn4 and AE3Ga2Pn 4 (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu; Pn=P, As) have been synthesized using molten Ga, Al, and Pb fluxes. They have been structurally characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction to form with two different structures - Ca3Al2P4, Sr3Al 2As4, Eu3Al2P4, Eu 3Al2As4, Ca3Ga2P 4, Sr3Ga2P4, Sr3Ga 2As4, and Eu3Ga2As4 crystallize with the Ca3Al2As4 structure type (space group C2/c, Z=4); Ba3Al2P4 and Ba 3Al2As4 adopt the Na3Fe 2S4 structure type (space group Pnma, Z=4). The polyanions in both structures are made up of TrPn4 tetrahedra, which share common corners and edges to form [TrPn2]32 layers in the phases with the Ca3Al2As4 structure, and [TrP n2]31 chains in Ba3Al2P4 and Ba 3Al2As4 with the Na3Fe 2S4 structure type. The valence electron count for all of these compounds follows the ZintlKlemm rules. Electronic band structure calculations confirm them to be semiconductors.
