Research Update: Bismuth based materials for photovoltaics
In this sense, bismuth-based materials can be interesting alternatives for replacing lead-containing compounds. Bismuth is a quite abundant metal on the earth crust; moreover, it is a by-product of Pb, Cu, and Sn refining and has few significant commercial applications, resulting in the price of Bi being relatively low and stable (Fig. 1). 2,3,9 …

The role of copper in the thermal conductivity of …
Bismuth copper oxychalcogenides, BiOCuQ (Q = Se, Te), are highly crystalline thermoelectric materials with an unusually low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.5 Wm −1 K −1, a value normally found in amorphous materials. Here we unveil the origin of the unusual thermal transport properties of these phases.

Characteristics of Low Melting Alloys
Low melting alloys, also called fusible alloys, have a composition that allows the metal to form into a liquid or semi-liquid state at low temperatures and then re-solidify. These low melting alloys are ideal as they allow for parts to be joined or cast at temperatures lower than 300 degrees. Selecting the right low-melting alloy is essential ...
