Dissipation-induced symmetry breaking: Emphanitic transitions in lead- and tin-containing chalcogenides and halide perovskites

Kingshuk Mukhuti, Sudip Sinha, Subhasis Sinha +1

Lead and tin-based chalcogenide semiconductors like PbTe or SnSe have long been known to exhibit an unusually low thermal conductivity that makes them very attractive thermoelectri…
