• An Unlikely Route to Low Lattice Thermal Conductivity: Small Atoms in a Simple Layered Structure (2018, background): ““Giant anharmonicity” is well known to occur in the vicinity of lattice instabilities, as reported for PbTe, SnSe, GeTe, [20], [31], so it is not entirely surprising to see the same effect in this system as well.”
• Advances in thermoelectric materials research: Looking back and moving forward (2017, methodology): “used inelastic neutron scattering in conjunction with density functional theory calculations to ascribe the strong anharmonicity to the long-range resonant p-bond network of Se coupled to stereochemically active 5s orbitals of Sn (98).”
