Abstract
A systematic investigation of thermoelectric properties on Cd-Yb quasicrystals and its approximant Cd6Yb, with various chemical compositions and different heat treatments of the samples is presented. As such, the Cd-Yb quasicrystals show a RT resistivity value of about 200 (μΩcm) for all samples. The Seebeck coefficients S are small and positive, signifying that hole-type carriers dominate the heat transport in these materials.
