Calculation
XRD @ High Temp.
The reuse of waste heat energy is expected as one of the solutions of the environmental issues. It is necessary for the recovery of the waste heat energy to investigate the high-performance thermoelectric device which consists of N-type and P-type semiconductors. Moreover it is important for the industry and the environment to research the ecological friendly semiconductor which has abundant deposit on the earth and is harmless for the health.
The synthesis is difficult, because the boiling point of Mg ( 1363K ) is close to the melting point of Mg2Si( 1358K ) .

Purpose
• To find the synthetic condition for Ag-doped Mg2Si by high-temperature and high-pressure XRD (Multi Press)
• To calculate the suitable dopant element for P-type• To synthesize the thermoelectric material (Piston Cylinder) and
evaluate the thermal property

Fig. 15 EDX diffraction patterns of Ag-doped Mg2Si at 673 K, 1 GPa for various synthesis-time. Diffraction peaks of Mg decreased with increasing synthesis-time, their peaks almost disappeared after 8hrs.
Fig. 4 Photographs of the starting materials for the XRD study of Ag-doped Mg 2Si under high-temperature and high-pressure. The left two material are Mg(1) with particles 150 mm in diameter, and Si(2) powder and the right one is pure Mg2Si(3) synthesized by Union Material Co., Ltd.The average diameters of the particles of Si were (A)~150mm, (B) ~40mm, (C)~20mm, (D) ~3mm.
Fig. 13 EDX diffraction patterns of Mg2Si under high-temperature at 1 GPa. The starting material of left figure (1) is Mg and Si powders. Mg2Si was synthesized at 573 K which temperature is very low than the melting point of Mg (923 K). Mg peaks disappeared and a broad peak appeared at 973 K. The quenched sample (top of the (1)) does not include Mg and Si. In the right figure (2), the starting material is powdered pure Mg2Si synthesized by Union Material Co., Ltd. Some peaks of MgO appeared with increasing temperature.

Fig. 14 EDX diffraction patterns of Ag-doped Mg2Si under high-temperature at 1 GPa. The starting materials of the left (1) and the right (2) are Mg, Si, Ag and Mg2Si, Ag , respectively. In the left figure, Mg2Si was synthesized at 523 K and Mg peaks disappeared and broad peak appeared at 873 K. There temperatures are lower than the case of undoped sample. Ag peaks disappeared 823 K. However, in the right figure, Ag peaks remains still 873 K. The result means that in the case of Ag-doping , the Mg and Si powders are better than Mg2Si powder as the starting material.

Summary• The first principle calculation expects that Ag is suitable doping element for the
P-type conduction of Mg2Si and the pressure is effective for the Ag-doping.
• In the case of mixture of Ag, Mg, Si powders, Mg2Si was synthesized at 523 K, and Ag peaks disappeared at 823 K and MgO or SiO2 peaks did not appeared.
This work was supported by MEXT KAKENHI(C) Grant Number 11013342, and has been performed under the approval of the Photon Factory Program Advisory Committee (Proposal No. 2010G668, 2012G566).
