Li. Arutyunyan et al., THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF A NEW-TYPE OF REGULAR-STRUCTURE NANOCOMPOSITES - PBSE IN OPAL PORES, Physics of the solid state, 39(3), 1997, pp. 510-514
Samples of an opal-based nanocomposite with PbSe embedded chemically i
nto opal voids have been produced. Their thermal conductivity (in the
16-100-K range), the Seebeck coefficient (16-100 K), and electrical re
sistivity (5-100 K) have been measured. The thermal conductivity data
permit a conclusion that a new type of substance has been produced, na
mely, nanocomposites having a regular structure, with each nanocompone
nt being a microcrystal. A concept of quasi-chemical bonding forming i
n nanocomponent lattices is introduced. (C) 1997 American Institute of
