The synthesis of p-type boulangerite (x=0) and n-type falkmanite (x=0.5, Pb-rich boulangerite) allows us to produce a novel type of powerful thermoelectic material. Native metal ordering parallel and perpendicular to the wire axis can be used for lowering the thermal conductivity. Moreover, a one-dimensional metal order and Pb_5+xSb_4−xS_11+x/2 superlattices can be realized. We compare the physical properties of micro- and nanodimensional material. The specific influence of metal ordering (order–disorder phenomena) by thermal treatment is investigated. First results on structure investigations by high-resolution electron microscopy and electrical measurements are presented.
