Evolution of defect structures leading to high ZT in GeTe-based thermoelectric materials

GeTe is a promising mid-temperature thermoelectric compound but inevitably contains excessive Ge vacancies hindering its performance maximization. This work reveals that significant enhancement in the dimensionless figure of merit ( ZT ) could be realized by defect structure engineering from point d...
