arrangement of atoms in high-entropy thermoelectric materials

Caption

This artistic illustration depicts the unique arrangement of atoms in high-entropy thermoelectric materials. By incorporating a diverse mix of elements, these materials tap into a vast composition space, allowing for tuning of electrical and phonon properties, which enhances their thermoelectric performance as compared to conventional thermoelectric materials.
