Germanium telluride (GeTe) with ultrafast ferroelectric transition, Rashba‐like electronic
transport, and anomalous phonon anharmonicity are historically studied for potential …

The configurational entropy is an emerging descriptor in the functional materials genome. In
thermoelectric materials, the configurational entropy helps tune the delicate trade‐off …

SnTe, emerging as an environment‐friendly alternative to conventional PbTe
thermoelectrics, has drawn significant attention for clean energy conversion. Here, a high …

Thermoelectric generators can convert heat directly into usable electric power but suffer from
low efficiencies and high costs, which have hindered wide-scale applications. Accordingly …

In addition to the Ge-vacancy control of GeTe, the antimony (Sb) substitution of GeTe for the
improvement of thermoelectric performance is explored for Ge1− xSbxTe with x= 0.08–0.12 …

Recently, hole-doped GeSe materials have been predicted to exhibit extraordinary
thermoelectric performance owing largely to extremely low thermal conductivity. However …

The traditional thermoelectric material GeTe has drawn much attention recently because of
the reported high thermoelectric performance of the rhombohedral phase in low-temperature …

Balancing the contradictory relationship between thermoelectric parameters, such as
effective mass and carrier mobility, is a challenge to optimize thermoelectric performance …

We report a remarkably high and stable thermoelectric figure of merit zT close to 2 by
manipulating the electronic bands in Ga–Sb codoped GeTe, which has been processed by …

Rhombohedral GeTe can be approximated as the directional distortion of the cubic GeTe
along [111]. Such a symmetry-breaking of the crystal structure results in an opposite …
