title: AXXTe12(A = Rb, Cs; XII= Mn, Zn, Cd; XIII= Ga, In): quaternary semiconducting tellurides with very low thermal conductivities.
abstract: The discovery of novel materials with very low thermal conductivity is paramount to improving the efficiency of thermoelectric devices. Here we present a series of quaternary semiconducting tellurides AXXTe12(A = Rb, Cs; XII= Mn, Zn, Cd; XIII= Ga, In) with three-dimensional (3D) diamond-like frameworks (DLFs) and they exhibit a very low thermal conductivity (ca. 0.26-0.42 W m-1K-1) around 800 K.
