Generation of Dislocation Arrays at Grain Boundaries in Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3

Caption

This schematic illustration shows the generation of dislocation arrays during the liquid-phase compaction process. The Te liquid (red) between the Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 grains flows out during the compacting process and facilitates the formation of dislocation arrays embedded in low-energy grain boundaries.
