The Formation of Cavansite and Pentagonite in the Wagholi Quarries, Pune, India

Formation conditions of dimorphic minerals cavansite and pentagonite were previously based on theoretical assumptions. In doing so, the associations with other minerals, especially zeolites, that actually occur in nature, were disregarded or incorrectly taken into account. As a result, formation conditions were assumed that are not consistent with those for the associated minerals in the Deccan Volcanic Province. This relates in particular to overestimated high pressure and temperature values, as well as chronological processes of alteration. Long-term field studies and evaluations of numerous samples led to the conclusion that cavansite and pentagonite formed under temperature (approx. 120 °C to 200 °C) and pressure (0.01–0.03 GPa) conditions that are relevant for the associated low-temperature zeolites. Integration of geological and petrographic conditions, as well as crystallization sequences enabled the presentation of a multi-stage mineralization model. It is also explained that, contrary to the original assumption, characteristic pentagonite fivelings are not formed from five, but from six individuals.

Robustness of machine learning predictions for Fe-Co-Ni alloys prepared by various synthesis methods.

Developing high-performance alloys is essential for applications in advanced electromagnetic energy conversion devices. In this study, we assess Fe-Co-Ni alloy compositions identified in our previous work through a machine learning (ML) framework, which used both multi-property ML models and multi-objective Bayesian optimization to design compositions with predicted high values of saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, and Vickers hardness. Experimental validation was conducted on two promising compositions synthesized using three different methods: arc melting, ball milling followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS), and chemical synthesis followed by SPS. The results show that the experimental property values of arc melted samples deviated less than 14% from predicted values. This work further explains how structural variations across synthesis methods impact property behavior, validating the robustness of ML-predicted compositions and highlighting a pathway for integrating processing conditions into alloy development.

Searching for star-planet interactions in GJ 486 at radio wavelengths with the uGMRT

We search for radio emission from star-planet interactions in the M dwarf system which hosts an Earth-like planet. We observed the GJ 486 system with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) from 550 to 750 MHz in nine different epochs between October 2021 and February 2022, covering almost all orbital phases of from different orbital cycles. We obtained radio images and dynamic spectra of the total and circularly polarized intensity for each individual epoch. We did not detect any quiescent radio emission in any epoch above 3sigma . Similarly, we did not detect any bursty emission in our dynamic spectra. While we cannot completely rule out that the absence of a radio detection is due to time variability of the radio emission or to the maximum electron-cyclotron maser emission being below our observing range, these cases seem unlikely. We discuss two possible scenarios: an intrinsic dim radio signal and, alternatively, a situation where the anisotropic beamed emission is pointed away from the observer. If the non-detection of radio emission from the star-planet interaction in GJ 486 is due to an intrinsically dim signal, this implies that independent of whether the planet is magnetized or not, the mass-loss rate is small ( lesssim 0.3 and that, concomitantly, the efficiency of the conversion of the Poynting flux into radio emission must be low ($ $). Free-free absorption effects are negligible, given the high value of the coronal temperature. Finally, if the anisotropic beaming pointed away from the observer, this would imply that GJ 486 has very low values of magnetic obliquity and inclination.

No-load Testing of the Modified Auxiliary Heating System for BAU Solar Chimney Dryer

Experimental analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of a modified electric auxiliary heating system for a natural convection solar dryer without load. The dryer operated using heat from two sources for drying operation. This study focused on describing the temperature profile inside the dryer and the airflow velocity of the modified auxiliary heating system at no-load. Microcontroller (ESP32) automation was integrated within the auxiliary heating system to maintain the recommended temperature range for drying agricultural products. The experiment was conducted during low sunshine season and the maximum solar radiation was 336.56 W/m2. The average airflow velocity from each column of holes was found to be in the range of 2.33 m/s to 2.80 m/s. From the test, the obtained drying temperature was sufficiently higher above ambient air temperature to continue drying. A maximum rise of 29.7 °C above ambient was found at 2.00 pm. The second drying chamber had slightly high temperature values due to the stagnancy of hot air in it. The auxiliary heater showed promising performance towards a weather-independent drying operation. However, it needs to be improved in capacity to raise the air temperature to the required range. Further study on the dryer design for better exhaustion system alongside uniform airflow rate is also recommended. Integrating IoT-based solutions will make the drying process smarter and reduce drudgeries during the operation.

Exploration of quantum oscillation in antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal GdSiAl

GdSiAl single crystal has been investigated by means of magnetic and magneto-transport measurements and compared withab-initiodensity functional theory (DFT) calculations. Significant non-saturating magnetoresistance reaching∼18%at 12T and2Kwas observed, alongside the presence of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations with the fundamental frequencies 22.09T and 77.33T. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations provide the information about the nontrivialπBerry phase in GdSiAl with the Fermi surface areas of0.00211A˚-2and0.00739A˚-2. Angle-dependent magnetoresistance shows anisotropy withθ, exhibiting a maximum at 180°. The magnetic susceptibility data forH∥candH⊥creveals that the magnetic moments of Gd3+ions orders antiferromagnetically below 32K along with an another transition occurs at∼8K, which is consistent with the heat capacity measurements where a distinctλ-shaped anomaly has been observed near antiferromagnetic ordering temperature 32K. The high value of Debye temperature indicates the contribution of acoustic phonons. Electronic structure calculations suggest the existence of nested Fermi surface pockets characterized by nesting wave vectors that closely align with the observed magnetic ordering wave vector. Furthermore, DFT calculations reveal the presence of Weyl nodes in close proximity to the Fermi surface. Our findings from combined experimental and theoretical techniques indicate GdSiAl to be a potential candidate for an antiferromagnetic topological Weyl semimetal.

Impact of dose and heating rate on thermoluminescence kinetics in aquamarine (Be3Al2(SiO3)6:Fe)

The study of a thermoluminescent (TL) material begins with the response of the material to different doses of radiation and different rates of heating (Bos, 2006a), For this reason, the present work deals with the possible variations of the kinetic parameters for two groups of glow curves of beryl in its variety known as aquamarine. (Be3Al2(SiO3)6: Fe). The exposure and reading process was performed in a RISO TL/OSL DA-20 reader at room temperature. For the development of this work, the sample was irradiated at different doses (Between 4 and 100 Gy) of β-radiation with a source of 90Sr/90Y. The glow curve was recorded at a heating rate of 1 °C/s. The results show four experimental glow peaks around the 75, 115, 189 y 302 °C. The glow peak with the highest intensity at about 75 °C is referred to as the "main peak". A second set of glow curves was obtained with a radiation dose β of 1 Gy. These were recorded at different heating rates between 0.5 and 5 °C/s. The glow peaks show a shift towards higher temperature values as the heating rate increases, in agreement with theory. However, a slight decrease in the area of the glow peak is observed, more pronounced in the case of the main peak. The kinetic analysis performed on the glow curves recorded at different doses of beta radiation and heating rates, using different methods of kinetic theory, such as the initial ascent method, full peak glow, curve fitting and the dimensionless fitting method, shows that the trapping parameters (activation energy, frequency factor, and order parameter) are independent of the absorbed dose, in the measured range, and of the heating rate used.

The design of a combustion chamber operated in MILD regime — Numerical modeling of hydrogen combustion in oxygen–steam mixtures

The goal of the current work is to develop a combustion chamber that can operate on recirculated steam produced by burning hydrogen in oxygen under conditions of Moderate or Intense oxygen Dilution (MILD) in atmospheric and stoichiometric conditions. The study investigates several configurations of combustor with nozzles, taking into account the overall temperature, OH radicals, and heat release rate distribution throughout the combustor’s domain. Thermal power variations of the steam generator (5 to 20 kW) were examined in conjunction with different oxygen dilutions with steam, down to 3% of O2 (by mol.). The outcomes reveal that a rise in dilution degree promotes a drop in the mean temperature across every case and reagents’ recirculation with homogeneous temperature field, suggesting the presence of MILD combustion. The highest temperature values were observed at the stoichiometric mixture fraction. Higher dilution degree revealed more efficient heat release across the domain with low fluctuations from the reference MILD combustion data. Of the two combustion models studied, the Partially Stirred Reactor model did not show flame extinction at the highest dilution degrees, unlike the Eddy Dissipation model. The selected final design of the combustion chamber was used for constructing the actual combustor dedicated for lab-scale operation.

SOFIA/EXES Observations of Warm H2 at High Spectral Resolution. II. IC 443C, NGC 2071, and 3C 391

Using the EXES instrument on SOFIA, we have obtained velocity-resolved spectra of several pure rotational lines of H2 toward shocked molecular gas within three Galactic sources: the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 (clump C), a protostellar outflow in the intermediate-mass star-forming region NGC 2071, and the SNR 3C 391. These observations had the goal of searching for expected velocity shifts between ortho- and para-H2 transitions emitted by C-type shocks. In contrast in our previous similar study of HH7, the result of our search was negative: no velocity shifts were reliably detected. Several possible explanations for the absence of such shifts are discussed: these include a preshock ortho-to-para ratio that is already close to the high-temperature equilibrium value of 3 (in the case of IC 443C), the more complex shock structures evident in all these sources, and the larger projected aperture sizes relative to those in the observations of HH7.

First use of Chironomid Pupal Exuvial Technique in freshwater biomonitoring in Cameroon: Ecological aspect and morphological description of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera)

The biodiversity of urban streams is gradually degrading as a result of anthropogenic pollution. In this study, chironomid pupal exuviae were used as surrogates to assess urban streams and a lake in Douala Cameroon. We compared these assessments with samples collected from a suburban forest stream. Based on their highly adaptive capability, we predicted that chironomid communities would present high diversity and abundance in urban habitats. Chironomid pupal exuviae were collected using the chironomid pupal exuvial technique in 14 urban and 2 forest reference stations during dry and rainy seasons. Measurements of the environmental variables were done simultaneously. Physicochemical analysis revealed that all urban sites have had very poor ecological health status whereas forest site had good water quality as shown by the hierarchical cluster analysis. This ecological survey identified 8 species/morphotypes of chironomids all belonging to the subfamily Chironominae, tribe Chironomini. These are Chironomus holomelas(?), Chironomus sp.1, Chironomus sp.2, Chironomus sp.3, Chironomus (Lobochironomus) sp., Stenochironomus sp., Dicrotendipes sp. and Dicrotendipes pulsus. No midge pupal exuviae were recorded at the forest stations (S1 & S2) and the stations S6 and S7 located downstream industrial mill effluents. The species richness of the study sites was significantly very low as compare to other Afrotropical studies. Canonical redundancy analysis revealed that high values of water temperature, ammonium, nitrates and phosphates, and low oxygen concentration were significant predictors of the distribution and high abundance of Chironomidae. This survey highlighted the impacts of anthropogenic activities on chironomid diversity and distribution, with great decrease of their diversity due to industrial pollution.

Determination and Verification of the Johnson–Cook Constitutive Model Parameters in the Precision Machining of Ti6Al4V Alloy

Numerical simulations of the cutting process play a key role in manufacturing and cost optimization. Inherent in finite element analysis (FEA) simulations is the correct description of material behavior during machining. For this purpose, various material models are used to describe the behavior of the material in the range of high deformation, high temperature values, and high strain rates. Very often the Johnson–Cook (JC) material model is used for this purpose; however, the correct determination of the material constants of this model is a key aspect. Therefore, this paper presents a procedure for determining the material constants of the JC model using an analytical method based on normalized tensile and compression testing of the material for different strain rates over a wide temperature range. After determining the material constants, the authors conducted numerical simulations of the orthogonal turning of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy using the obtained constants. Validation of the obtained results with those obtained in experimental studies was also carried out. The outcomes demonstrated that the difference between FEM simulation and experimental tests did not exceed 0.02 mm (14%) in the case of chip thickness,. Much smaller differences were obtained for the temperature in the cutting zone, where the maximum difference was about 45 °C (4%). Comparing the components of the cutting force, we found that, in the case of the main cutting force, in most cases, the differences did not exceed 70 N (8%). After the verification of the obtained results, it was also found that the determined material constants of the Johnson–Cook model can be successfully used in FEM modeling of the cutting process of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy for the adopted range of values of technological parameters.

Sintering enhancement process based on fluidity and bonding phase strength

The sintering process is influenced by complex low-grade ores. This study used seven types of imported iron ore, A–F and domestically produced iron ore, G, as raw materials to study their chemical composition, as well as the liquid fluidity and bonding strength of the mixed ore after single and optimised ore blending. The high-temperature characteristic test values of mixed ores are positively correlated with the weighted calculated values of individual ores. Under the sintering cup conditions, the optimal ore mixing includes a 9% increase in liquid fluidity and a 6% increase in bonding strength. The latter significantly improved the sintering yield and drum strength, reaching 75.89% and 65.67%, respectively. In addition, the consumption of solid fuel has slightly decreased by 0.06 kg·t−1, and the utilisation coefficient has slightly increased. In addition, the sintering yield and quality indicators of the scheme have been comprehensively improved. Compared with the benchmark scheme, through liquid fluidity optimisation, an increase in magnetite phase, a decrease in haematite, and a significant decrease in acicular calcium ferrite were observed, interwoven with magnetite. The silicate-bounding iron oxide also showed an increase in this optimisation. In the optimisation of bonding strength, the corrosive structure interwoven with magnetite and needle shaped ferrite significantly increases, while the iron oxide bound with silicate decreases. The improvement effect of liquid phase fluidity and bonding phase strength optimisation on sintering process and mineralisation behaviour was verified through sintering cup test and mineral phase analysis.

Halocins and C50 Carotenoids from Haloarchaea: Potential Natural Tools against Cancer.

Haloarchaea are a group of moderate and extreme halophilic microorganisms, belonging to the Archaea domain, that constitute relevant microbial communities in salty environments like coastal and inland salted ponds, marshes, salty lagoons, etc. They can survive in stress conditions such as high salinity and, therefore, high ionic strength, high doses of ultraviolet radiation (UV), high temperature, and extreme pH values. Consequently, most of the species can be considered polyextremophiles owing to their ability to respond to the multiple extreme conditions characterizing their natural habitats. They cope with those stresses thanks to several molecular and metabolic adaptations. Thus, some of the molecules produced by haloarchaea show significantly different biological activities and physicochemical properties compared to their bacterial counterparts. Recent studies have revealed promising applications in biotechnology and medicine for these biomolecules. Among haloarchaeal biomolecules, rare natural pigments (C50 carotenoids) and small peptides called halocins and microhalocins have attracted attention worldwide due to their effects on animal and human commercial tumoral cells, apart from the role as antibiotics described for halocins or the immunomodulatory activity reported from C50 carotenoids like bacterioruberin. This review summarizes recent knowledge on these two types of biomolecules in connection with cancer to shed new light on the design of drugs and new therapies based on natural compounds.

A mesoscopic device for a realization of the topological Kondo effect

Abstract The search for anyons is a field of immense interest owing to its potential application in the field of quantum information. Quantum critical Kondo impurities constitute one possible platform for their realization and topological Kondo effect (TKE) by virtue of remaining critical in the presence of perturbations, seems to be especially promising in this regard. In this paper we discuss practical steps for a realization of TKE with a relatively high Kondo temperature T K . Its central feature is the so-called Majorana-Cooper box (MCB) and we argue that a particular type of iron-based topological superconductor is especially suitable for realization of TKE. Once MCB is available one needs to connect it to external metallic leads to produce TKE. A relatively high value of the Kondo temperature T K is then aided by a large superconducting gap of the iron-based superconductor. We give estimates for T K , for the cases of both isotropic and anisotropic exchange couplings of MCB with the leads.

Investigation of nuclear structure and [formula omitted]-decay properties of As isotopes

The nuclear ground state properties of 67−80As nuclei have been investigated within the framework of relativistic mean field (RMF) approach. The RMF model with density-dependent (DD-ME2) interaction is utilized for the calculation of potential energy curves and the nuclear ground-state deformation parameters (β2) of selected As isotopes. Later, the β-decay properties of As isotopes were studied using the proton–neutron quasi particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) model. These include Gamow Tellar (GT) strength distributions, log ft values, β-decay half-lives, stellar β± decays and stellar electron/positron capture rates. The β2 values computed from RMF model were employed in the pn-QRPA model as an input parameter for the calculations of β-decay properties for 67−80As. The calculated log ft values were in decent agreement with the measured data. The predicted β-decay half-lives matched the experimental values within a factor of 10. The stellar rates were compared with the shell model results. Only at high temperature and density values, the sum of β+ and electron capture rates had a finite contribution. On the other hand, the sum of β− and positron capture rates were sizeable only at low density and high temperature values. For all such cases, the pn-QRPA rates were found to be bigger than the shell model rates up to a factor of 33 or more. The findings reported in the current investigation could prove valuable for simulating the late-stage stellar evolution of massive stars.

Preparation and performance evaluation of heat resistant and salt resistant anionic fluid loss reducer for water‐based drilling fluid

AbstractIn this investigation, a new micro‐crosslinked anionic polymer resistant to elevated temperature and high salinity, PKDASN, was synthesized using 3‐chloropropyltriethoxysilane (KMB703), N, N‐Dimethylacrylamide (DMAM), 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), N‐vinyl caprolactam (NVCL), and sodium (4‐vinyl phenyl)methanesulfonate (SVM) employing free radical polymerization in a water‐based solution. The structure of PKDASN was analyzed using Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while its microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the pyrolysis temperature of PKDASN was above 294°C. Adding KMB703 enables the polymer to form a dense and stable spatial network. This intensified polymer network could interact with bentonite via intermolecular force and Coulomb force and form a dual grid structure, which presents impressive stability and control of filtration in saltwater. This is mainly achieved through creating a “silane coupling layer” on the particle surface by KMB703, which facilitates the crosslinking and aggregation of the polymer, thereby reinforcing the polymer's framework. This implies that under high‐temperature conditions of 230°C, 3 wt% PKDASN can improve the filtration effectiveness of drilling fluids and exhibit resistance to 15 wt% NaCl contamination. American Petroleum Institute filtration(FLAPI) and High temperature and high pressure filtration(FLHTHP) values were 4.6 and 23.0 mL, respectively. Therefore, this investigation provides a novel approach to utilizing the designated silane agent for the advancement of filtration loss additives in drilling fluids resistant to elevated temperature and high salinity.

A recipe for an effective selection of promising candidates for high-temperature superconductors among binary hydrides

Recent research on compressed binary hydrides have unveiled the potential for achieving superconductivity at near-room-temperature. Nevertheless, the available decision-making procedures standing behind the selection of constituent elements that may potentially exhibit high values of critical temperature (Tc) are far from optimal. In other words, a lot of experimental and numerical effort is wasted on exploring unpromising compounds. By conducting a deep study of a database containing over 580 binary hydride superconductors, we were able to observe some interesting relationships between Tc and selected physico-chemical properties of examined compounds. Among studied parameters, the ratio of the sum of the molecular weight of heavier atoms to the total mass of all hydrogen atoms in the chemical formula of hydride (MX/MH) was found to be the most valuable indicator that can help to screen for new promising superconductor candidates. This is because the highest Tc requires the lowest MX/MH ratio. Statistical analysis indicates a 28% chance of finding Tc > 200 K within 0 <MX/MH < 15. It is expected that these findings will not only allow for more efficient use of resources by improving future superconductor candidates selection but also they will accelerate ongoing experimental and numerical research that should bring new exciting discoveries in a much shorter time.

Knee temperature remains abnormal in patients successfully treated with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: An infrared thermography analysis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate if the operated knee environment remains abnormal in patients successfully treated with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R). Thirty asymptomatic patients were enrolled (28 men, 2 women, age 28.6 ± 6.54 years, body mass index: 24.9 ± 3.0 kg/m2) and evaluated at 42.2 ± 12.5 months after surgery. Patients were assessed with patient-reported outcome measurements and with a triaxial accelerometer. The temperature of the knees as well as four regions of interest were evaluated with an infrared thermographic camera FLIR T1020 (FLIR® Systems) according to a standardised protocol including a baseline evaluation and further evaluations immediately after exercise and after 5, 10 and 20 min. The temperature of the ACL-R knee was compared to that of the contralateral healthy knee for the purpose of the study. The mean temperature of the knee was higher (p = 0.010) for the ACL-R knees (31.4 ± 1.4°C) compared to the healthy knees (31.1 ± 1.6°C), as well as for the patellar area (p = 0.005), the lateral area (p = 0.016) and the medial area (p = 0.014). The analysis of the response to the exercises of the ACL-R knees showed similar trends to the healthy knees but higher temperature values at all time points (p < 0.05). Patients who underwent ACL-R with concomitant meniscal treatment showed higher knee temperatures compared to ACL-R knees without concomitant meniscal treatment after 5 (p = 0.047), 10 (p = 0.027) and 20 min (p = 0.048). The temperature of asymptomatic knees previously treated with ACL-R is higher than the contralateral healthy knee, both at rest and after exercise, with a further increase in knees that underwent both ACL-R and meniscal treatment. These results suggest an inflammatory state persisting years after the surgery, which could predispose to the early onset of knee degeneration. III, Case-control study.

Empirical calibration for helium abundance determinations in active galactic nuclei

ABSTRACT For the first time, a calibration between the He i$\lambda 5876$/H $\beta$ emission line ratio and the helium abundance y = 12 + log(He/H) for Narrow line regions of Seyfert 2 Active Galactic Nuclei is proposed. In this context, observational data (taken from the SDSS-DR15 and from the literature) and direct abundance estimates (via the $T_{\rm e}$-method) for a sample of 65 local ($z \: \lt \: 0.2$) Seyfert 2 nuclei are considered. The resulting calibration estimates the y abundance with an average uncertainty of 0.02 dex. Applying our calibration to spectroscopic data containing only strong emission lines, it yields a helium abundance distribution similar to that obtained via the $T_{\rm e}$-method. Some cautions must be considered to apply our calibration for Seyfert 2 nuclei with high values of electron temperature (${\gtrsim} 20\, 000$ K) or ionization parameter ($\log U \ \gt\ {-}2.0$).

Analysis of the Processes of Paraffin Deposition of Oil from the Kumkol Group of Fields in Kazakhstan

The oil pipeline transportation of highly waxy oils when it is cold is accompanied by the deposition of paraffins in the inner surface of the pipeline. This study of the initial properties of the oil; the composition, structure, and nature of the components of normal alkanes in oil; and their influence on the aggregative stability of the resulting system makes it possible to find the best solutions to optimize the conditions of oil transportation with the lowest energy costs. This study shows that, according to the content of solid paraffin (14.0–16.2%), the oils of the Kumkol group of fields in Kazakhstan are highly waxy. They are characterized by high yield loss temperature values (+9–+12 °C), which also correlate with the values of the rheological parameters (τ0 1.389 Pa, 3.564 Pa). The influence of the temperature and shear rate on the shear stress and effective viscosity of the initial oils was studied. At temperatures below 20 °C, depending on the shear rate, there is an increase in the effective viscosity values (0.020 Pa∙s, 0.351 Pa∙s). The influence of the nature of solid hydrocarbons on the parameters of the paraffinization process and of the intensity of the paraffinization of the metal surfaces was studied. Our study shows that the main share of n-alkanes in the Kumkol and Akshabulak oils falls on paraffins of the C15–C44 group. The greater the temperature difference between the oil and the cold steel surface (≤40 °C), the lesser the amount of asphalt–resin–paraffin deposits (ARPDs) that fall out on the surface of the rod, although the content of long-chain paraffins prevails in these ARPDs. At the same time, the consistency of the released asphalt–resin–paraffin deposits (ARPDs) becomes denser, which makes their mechanical removal more difficult. Furthermore, the results of this study of the cooling rate shows that the rapid cooling of oils leads to the formation of a large number of crystallization centers, which leads to an increase in the values of the yield loss temperature and kinematic viscosity of the oils.

Strain Effect on Optoelectronic and Thermoelectric Properties of the Perovskite NaGeI3

In this research, we investigate the impact of strain on the optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of the NaGeI3 perovskite by employing a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and Boltzmann transport theory. Initially, we examine the NaGeI3 material’s structural, electronic, and optical properties using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The results reveal that this material proves the behavior of a semiconductor with a p-type character and possesses interesting optical properties. Furthermore, we outline the thermoelectric properties of the material, including the Seebeck coefficient, the electrical and thermal conductivities, the figure of merit (ZT), and the power factor (PF). Our investigations indicate that the Seebeck coefficient exhibits positive and increasing values with the application of strain. This confirms the p-type semiconductor behavior observed in the studied material. Additionally, the NaGeI3 compound demonstrates significantly high values of the ZT when compared with the existing thermoelectric materials, both at room and high-temperature values. This suggests that the NaGeI3 compound stands as a promising potential candidate for optoelectronic and/or thermoelectric applications.
