Glass-like thermal transport in AgSbTe2: nano-scale insights to improve thermoelectric efficiency
Posted in: 2013 Highlights,
A combination of neutron scattering and microscopy is used to reveal that a spontaneously forming nanostructure is gives rise to the extremely low glass-like thermal conductivity of AgSbTe2. AgSbTe2 has long been known to have an extremely low thermal conductivity, even in crystalline form, which enables high-performance thermoelectric modules that can be used for recovery of
