Deskripsi

The present paper is focused on studying the thermal behaviour of the Zn4Sb3 material. The thermal behavior of Zn4Sb3 was investigated using differential thermal analysis which was taken on the temperature range 300 -1073K. The melting point and the solidification temperature of Zn4Sb3 were determined. Also, a characterization of the Zn4Sb3 material from an electrical point of view was done. It was shown the semiconducting behavior of the material as a function of temperature, and also as function of material electrical resistivity and electrical conductivity. Also, the optical and the electrical band gap were estimated.
