Abstract
To investigate whether environmentally benign chalcopyrite phosphides may be used in the thermoelectric energy conversion, the solid solution ZnGe 1– x Sn x P 2 was prepared by ball-milling, followed by hot-pressing with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. Despite the comparably light constituent elements and the simple crystal structure, the room temperature thermal conductivity went below 3 W m –1 K –1 in the middle of the series ( x = 0.5), where the phonon scattering caused by the alloying effect was maximized. Band structure engineering can be employed to enhance the band degeneracies either at the top of the valence band or at the bottom of the conduction band by varying x (the Sn content). Boltztrap calculations revealed that high power factor values can be achieved on either side of the Fermi level. Combining these results assuming a constant relaxation time with the experimental thermal conductivity data confirmed that zT values in excess of unity could theoretically be obtained at 900 K for all members at different doping levels; for p-doping, the highest zT of 1.7 was predicted to for ZnGe 0.5 Sn 0.5 P 2, and for n-doping, a peak zT of 1.4 was predicted for ZnGeP 2 . It remains to be seen whether these doping levels can be experimentally obtained.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
