Leveraging room-temperature plastic deformation for tailoring inorganic thermoelectrics.

Mg3(Sb, Bi)2 has emerged as a promising material due to its favorable combination of high thermoelectric performance and ductility. However, a key question remains regarding how plastic deformation affects its thermoelectric properties. Here we investigate the evolution of deformation-induced defects and their influenc...
