TmCuSb2
metal· JVASP-91692· TmCuSb2
TmCuSb2 is an intermetallic compound composed of thulium, copper, and antimony, belonging to the rare-earth-based metal family. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric applications, where it is investigated for its potential to convert thermal energy into electrical energy—a capability driven by its electronic and phonon transport properties. While not yet in widespread industrial production, TmCuSb2 represents the broader class of rare-earth skutterudite and half-Heusler compounds being explored as next-generation thermoelectric materials for waste heat recovery and solid-state cooling systems.
