Thermoelectric properties improved in ScN thin films, indicating significant implications for energy applications.
Key evidence shows that strain engineering enhanced optical properties in ScN films with specific crystal defects.
Assessment included variations in crystal defects like dislocations and point defects affecting electrical properties.
These findings suggest that controlling strain in narrow-band-gap semiconductor films may lead to better performance.

Implication

Analysis demonstrates improved optical and thermoelectric properties in narrow-band-gap semiconductor ScN films, suggesting defect control is vital.

Abstract

Insertion of crystal defects (dislocations, point defects and lattice distortion) plays a crucial role in thermoelectric/optical properties and can be controlled in thin films of the narrow-band-gap semiconductor ScN.
