Optimization of Mechanical and Thermoelectric Properties of SnTe‐Based Semiconductors by Mn Alloying Modulated Precipitation Evolution

Multiscale defects engineering offers a promising strategy for synergistically enhancing the thermoelectric and mechanical properties of thermoelectric semiconductors. However, the specific impact of individual defects, in particular precipitation, on mechanical properties remains ambiguous. In this work, the mechanical and thermoelectric properties of Sn
