    Abstract An unprecedented NiSn 2 intermetallic with CoGe 2 -type crystal structure has been recovered (at ambient conditions) after high-pressure high-temperature treatment of a Ni 33 Sn 67 precursor alloy at 10 GPa and 400 °C. The orthorhombic structure with Aeam space group symmetry is pseudotetragonal. Based on the evaluation of powder X-ray diffraction data, lattice parameters of a  =  b  = 6.2818 Å and c  = 11.8960 Å have been determined. Complicated line broadening and results of a further microstructure analysis, however, imply a defective character of the crystal structure. First-principles calculations with different model structures and a comparison with structural trends in the literature suggest that at the high-pressure high-temperature conditions a CuAl 2 -type crystal structure might be stable, which transforms to the recovered CoGe 2 -type crystal structure upon cooling or the release of pressure.

  3. This study investigates the thermoelectric properties of Ca2Fe2O5 over a temperature range of 7˚C to 50˚C. The experiment measured the voltage generated by temperature differences across two sides of the material, with a focus on the voltage response at temperatures both below and above room temperature. Results indicate that at lower temperatures (7˚C to 15˚C), the voltage generated by the temperature difference was higher, though not directly proportional to the magnitude of the temperature gradient. The highest voltage recorded for the smallest temperature difference in this range was 109 mV, observed between 14.6˚C and 17.6˚C (smallest temperature difference, 3˚C). Similarly, at temperatures above room temperature, the voltage generated was relatively lower, peaking at 125 mV between 9˚C and 44˚C (higher temperature difference). These results suggest complex behavior of Ca2Fe2O5’s thermoelectric response, with non-linear relationships between voltage and temperature differences at both low and high temperatures.
