Polycrystalline SnP3: Synthesis, Metallic Transport, and Thermoelectric Implications
Polycrystalline SnP3 was synthesized via a combined process of high-energy ball milling, two-step spark plasma sintering, and thermal annealing. X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of phase-pure rhombohedral SnP3, with intermediate annealing effectively eliminating secondary phases. The sintered pellets exhibit de...
