摘要：

Defect engineering in thermoelectric materials leads to the formation of exotic transport properties. Specifically, reduction in lattice thermal conductivity (kappa(L)) can be realized through scattering of low and high-frequency phonons by interfacial and point defects respectively. Herein we explore such phenomena by inducing dense dislocations through doping of rare earth (RE) impurities in beta-(Zn1-xREx)(4)Sb-3[x = 03-0.5 at.%] as phonon scattering source of all frequencies. Lattice anharmonicity created results in an ultra-low kappa(L) of similar to 0.15 W/mK for beta-(Zn0.997Yb0.003)(4)Sb-3. Vibrational properties and phonon scattering altered by the lattice anharmonicity are studied in detail through terahertz and infrared spectroscopies. (C) 2019 Acta Materialia Inc.
