Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
The effects of Ca substitution for Y on the electrical transport and thermoelectric properties of Y1-x Cax Co O3 (0≤x≤0.1), prepared by using the sol-gel process, were investigated in the temperature range from 300 to 780 K. The results indicated that direct current electrical resistivity ρ of Y1-x Cax Co O3 decreased remarkably with increasing Ca content x as x≤0.01, which could mainly be attributed to the increase of hole concentration due to substitution of Ca2+ for Y3+. The temperature dependences of the resistivity for Y1-x Cax Co O3 were all found to be basically consistent with small-polaron hopping conduction model. Although Seebeck coefficient S of Y1-x Cax Co O3 at low temperatures T<∼550 K decreased remarkably with increasing x, it approached a limit value ∼150 μVK at ∼800 K for all the samples with different x, which was consistent well with the thermopower resulting from the degeneracy of electron configuration estimated from Heikes formula by assuming that Co3+ and Co4+ exist in low spin state. Experiments showed that thermal conductivity κ of Y1-x Cax Co O3 came mainly from its lattice component, whose decrease with increasing x could be chiefly ascribed to impurity-scattering effect due to Ca doping. The thermoelectric figure of merit ZT (= S2 Tρ κ) of Y1-x Cax Co O3 changed nonmonotonously with increasing doping content of Ca, and Y0.95 Ca0.05 Co O3 was found to have optimum thermoelectric properties with ZT=0.019 at 660 K, which was about ten-fold greater than that of YCo O3, indicating that its thermoelectric properties could be improved effectively by appropriate substitution of Ca for Y in this compound. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
