Complexity-Driven Properties of the Intermetallic Compounds Gd117Co56Sn112 and Ln30Ru4Sn31 (Ln = Gd and Tb)

Understanding the relationships between the structure of materials and their properties in extended solid systems is a necessity when intuitively designing functional materials. One of the most fundamental properties of a material is its ability to transport heat, which is linked to the lattice comp...
