Busch, F.; Balogun, O.; Snyder, G. J.; Scheu, C.; Isotta, E.: Unravelling grain boundary influences on electronic and lattice thermal conductivity in Mn-doped SnTe thermoelectrics. 21st European Conference on Thermoelectrics (ECT) 2025, Nancy, Frankreich (2025)
Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature.
This work led so far to several high impact publications: for the first time nanobeam diffraction (NBD) orientation mapping was used on atom probe tips, thereby enabling the high throughput characterization of grain boundary segregation as well as the crystallographic identification of phases.
