We report synthesis and thermal transport
properties of ternary chalcogenide, Nb2PdS5 superconducting
compound at low and room temperatures via thermo-electric measurements.
Polycrystalline sample was synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction
method. Seebeck coefficient (S) abruptly changes near superconducting
transition temperature (Tc~
6.5 K). The positive value of S indicates the presence
of holes like charge carriers in majority in normal state. The figure of merit,
an essential qualitative parameter of thermo-electric materials, increases from
low temperature towards the room temperature.
