Thermoelectric and phase analytical measurements were performed to investigate the physical properties of trimorphic Ag5Te2Cl. The material is a mixed electron/silver ion conductor featuring drastic property changes during a silver order/disorder phase transition at 334 K. The transition is characterized by a jump in the total electric conductivity by 2 orders of magnitude directly affecting the electric and thermoelectric properties. Silver ions are arranged in well-defined strands along the crystallographic c-axis characterized by a set of not fully occupied sites. Heat capacity measurements show a large effect, whereas the thermopower and thermal diffusivity drop significantly at the temperature of transition. Right after the transition, an attractive d10−d10 interaction within the disordered silver substructure occurs affecting the c-lattice parameter upon heating. Due to this interaction a modulation of the electronic structure and the thermoelectric properties can be observed which have been investi...
