Abstract

The synthesis of several new families of misfit-layered compounds is demonstrated. These compounds are crystalline along the c-axis and in the ab-plane, but show very short coherence lengths between ab-planes. This disorder leads to ultra-low and tunable thermal conductivity. Annealing isostructural samples under a chalcogen vapour until equilibrium is reached results in reproducible Seebeck and resistivity values.
