abstract = {Dislocations have been considered to be an efficient source
for scattering midfrequency phonons, contributing to the
enhancement of thermoelectric performance. The structure of
dislocations can be resolved by electron microscopy whereas
their chemical composition and decoration state are scarcely
known. Here, we correlate transmission Kikuchi diffraction
and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy in
conjunction with atom probe tomography to investigate the
local structure and chemical composition of dislocations in
a thermoelectric Ag-doped PbTe compound. Our investigations
indicate that Ag atoms segregate to dislocations with a
10-fold excess of Ag compared with its average concentration
in the matrix. Yet the Ag concentration along the
dislocation line is not constant but fluctuates from ∼0.8
to ∼10 atom $\%$ with a period of about 5 nm. Thermal
conductivity is evaluated applying laser flash analysis, and
is correlated with theoretical calculations based on the
Debye–Callaway model, demonstrating that these
Ag-decorated dislocations yield stronger phonon scatterings.
These findings reduce the knowledge gap regarding the
composition of dislocations needed for theoretical
calculations of phonon scattering and pave the way for
extending the concept of defect engineering to
thermoelectric materials.},
