Atomic-Scale Visualization and Quantification of Configurational Entropy in Relation to Thermal Conductivity: A Proof-of-Principle Study in t-GeSb2Te4.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: It remains a daunting task to quantify the configurational entropy of a material from atom-revolved electron microscopy images and correlate the results with the material's lattice thermal conductivity, which strides across statics, dynamics, and thermal transport of crystal lattice over orders of magnitudes in length and time. Here, a proof-of-principle study of atomic-scale visualization and quantification of configurational entropy in relation to thermal conductivity in single crystalline trigonal GeSb2Te4 (aka t-GeSb2Te4) with native atomic site disorder is reported. A concerted effort of large t-GeSb2Te4 single crystal growth, in-lab developed analysis procedure of atomic column intensity, the visualizatio
