Local ferroelectric polarization switching driven by nanoscale distortions in thermoelectric $${\text {Sn}}_{0.7}{\text {Ge}}_{0.3}{\text {Te}}$$ Sn 0.7 Ge 0.3 Te

Abstract A remarkable decrease in the lattice thermal conductivity and enhancement of thermoelectric figure of merit were recently observed in rock-salt cubic SnTe, when doped with germanium (Ge). Primarily, based on theoretical analysis, the decrease in lattice thermal conductivity was attributed t...
