Transitional structure of {0001} twin in a deformed p-type (Bi,Sb)2Te3 alloy: a direct experimental basis for understanding the twinning mechanism
Literature Information

Twin boundaries provide a strong phonon scattering center to hinder the lattice thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials, but the underlying evolution process of deformation twinning remains to be figured out. By applying atomic resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations, a novel type of transitional structure of {0001} twin was observed, for the first time, in the p-type (Bi,Sb)2Te3 alloy subjected to three-point bending deformation. The transformation from matrix to (0001) twin can be realized by the following path: matrix → transitional twin → (0001) twin, and this process was completed by the gliding of a total of four partial dislocations (b1 = 1/3[010]) extended in the different (0001) planes. This new finding here will shed light on the nucleation and growth of deformation twins in the p-type (Bi, Sb)2Te3 alloy.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
