Grain boundaries (GBs) play a significant role in controlling the transport of mass, heat and charge. To unravel the mechanisms underpinning the charge carrier scattering at GBs, correlative microscopy combined with local transport measurements is realized. For the PbTe material, the strength of carrier scattering at GBs depends on its misorientation angle. A concomitant change in the barrier height is observed, significantly increasing from low- to high-angle GBs. Atom probe tomography measurem ...[more]
