Abstract
Uncovering of the origin of intrinsically low thermal conductivity in novel crystalline solids is among the main streams in modern thermoelectricity. Because of their earth-abundant nature and environmentally friendly content, Cu-based thiospinels are attractive functional semiconductors, including thermoelectric (TE) materials. Herein, we report the crystal structure, as well as electronic and TE properties of four new Cu2MHf3S8 (M-Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) thiospinels. The performed density functional theory calculations predicted the decrease of the band gap and transition from p- to n-type conductivity in the Mn-Fe-Co-Ni series, which was confirmed experimentally. The best TE performance in this work was observed for the Cu2NiHf3S8 thiospinel due to its highest power factor and low thermal conductivity. Moreover, all the discovered compounds possess very low lattice thermal conductivity κlat over the investigated temperature range. The κlat for Cu2CoHf3S8 has been found to be as low as 0.8 W m-1 K-1 at 298 K and 0.5 W m-1 K-1 at 673 K, which are significantly lower values compared to the other Cu-based thiospinels reported up to date. The strongly disturbed phonon transport of the investigated alloys mainly comes from the peculiar crystal structure where the large cubic unit cells contain many vacant octahedral voids. As it was evaluated from the Callaway approach and confirmed by the speed of sound measurements, such a crystal structure promotes the increase in lattice anharmonicity, which is the main reason for the low κlat. This work provides a guideline for the engineering of thermal transport in thiospinels and offers the discovered Cu2MHf3S8 (M-Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) compounds, as new promising functional materials with low lattice thermal conductivity.

Abstract
A novel Ti3+-based thiospinel ZnTi2S4is successfully synthesized via a low-temperature ion-exchange reaction. ZnTi2S4shows a signature of metallic ground state evidenced by a contribution of conduction electrons in the heat capacity and Pauli-like paramagnetic susceptibility. These observations contrast to the electronic state of similar Ti3+-based spinel MgTi2O4exhibiting the metal-insulator transition associated with a molecular orbital crystallization (MOC). Furthermore, the magnetic susceptibility of ZnTi2S4shows a pseudogap-like behavior indicated by a vast peak in the magnetic susceptibility around 110 K, likely originating from the MOC fluctuation. The origin of the difference in the electronic states of MgTi2O4and ZnTi2S4would be due to the different magnitude of overlap between Ti 3dandporbitals (O: 2pand S: 3p). The presence of a MOC state in the close vicinity of insulator-metal transition may suggest the importance of itinerancy in a MOC.

Abstract
Abstract
Iron-based chalcopyrite materials have diverse applications in solar cells, spintronic, thermoelectric devices, LEDs and medical sciences. In this report we have studied structure, electronic and optical properties of chalcopyrite-type nano-cluster XFeY2 (X=Cu, Ag, Au; Y=S, Se, Te) systematically by using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Our computed HOMO-LUMO energy gap of XFeY2 is in the range of 1.568–3.982 eV, which endorses its potential application in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. The result shows that chalcopyrite-type material AuFeS2 having a star-type structure with point group C2v and sextet spin multiplicity, is the most stable cluster with HOMO-LUMO energy gap of 3.982 eV. The optical properties viz. optical electronegativity, refractive index, dielectric constant, IR and Raman activity of these nano-clusters are also investigated. The result exhibits that HOMO-LUMO energy gap of XFeY2 along with optical electronegativity and vibrational frequency decreases from S to Se to Te, whereas refractive index and dielectric constant increases in the reverse order.

Abstract
The homogeneity range of ternary iron indium thiospinel at 873 K was investigated. A detailed study was focused on two distinct series (y=z): 1) a previously reported charge-balanced (In0.67+0.33y □0.33-0.33y )tetr [In2-z Fez ]oct S4 (A1-series; □ stands for vacancy; the abbreviations "tetr" and "oct" indicate atoms occupying tetrahedral 8a and octahedral 16d sites, respectively) and 2) a new charge-unbalanced (In0.67+y □0.33-y )tetr [In2-z Fez ]oct S4 (A2-series). Fe atoms were confirmed to exclusively occupy an octahedral position in both series. An unusual reduction of the unit cell parameter with increasing Fe content is explained by differences in the ionic radii between Fe and In, as well as by an additional electrostatic attraction originating from charge imbalance (latter only in A2-series). The studied compound is an n-type semiconductor, and its charge carrier concentration increases or decreases for larger Fe content within the A1- and A2-series, respectively. The thermal conductivity κtot is significantly reduced upon increasing vacancy concentration, whereas the change of power factor is insufficient to drastically improve the thermoelectric figure of merit.
