Abstract

We have prepared the CuFe _1-xMn _xO ₂ solid solution to enhance the thermoelectric performance of CuFeO ₂ by reducing its thermal conductivity κ. With increasing x above 0.4, the crystal structure changes from delafossite ( 1̄3m) to crednerite (C2/m). CuFe _0.5Mn _0.5O ₂ exhibits the lowest κ value of 2.28 W/m K at the theoretical density, being about one-quarter of that of the end members, CuFeO ₂ and CuMnO ₂. We discuss the temperature dependence of κ in terms of a classical phonon transport model, and conclude that local structural modulation due to the mixture of undistorted FeO ₆ octahedra and distorted MnO ₆ octahedra in CuFe _1-xMn _xO ₂ leads to the significant reduction of κ.
