Enhancement of thermoelectric properties by lattice softening and energy band gap control in Te-deficient InTe1−δ

The InTe has intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity κL originating from the anharmonic bonding of In1+ ion in the lattice, which scatters the phonons. Here we report the enhancement of thermoelectric properties in Te-deficient InTe1−δ (δ = 0, 0.01, 0.1, and 0.2) polycrystalline compounds by...
