Abstract

Thermoelectric research on germanium telluride (GeTe) has been mainly focused on the enhancement of its performance in the high-temperature cubic phase since the 1960s. Recently in Joule, Pei and co-workers achieved an unprecedented thermoelectric figure of merit in rhombohedral-phase GeTe by exploiting slight symmetry breaking in the structure, which simultaneously improved the electronic properties and reduced the lattice thermal conductivity.
