Fig. 6: Thermoelectric transport properties of the tail-to-tail domain wall.

Calculated a electrical conductivity and b power factor of p-type bulk GeTe and 39° (11\(\bar{1}\)) tail-to-tail (T-T) domain walls (DWs) for various directions at 300 K. The top x-axis shows the DW interface free charge density, while the bottom x-axis corresponds to the volume charge concentration for the DW separation of 5.6 nm. Black vertical line shows the intrinsic doping concentration of the T-T DW for this DW separation due to charge transfer between the head-to-head and T-T DWs.
