Origin of off-centering effect and the influence on heat transport in thermoelectrics

Recently, off-centering behavior has been discovered in a series of thermoelectric materials. This behavior indicates that the constituent atoms of the lattice displace from their coordination centers, leading to the locally distorted state and local symmetry breaking, while the material still retai...
