In article number 1900551, Ran Ang and co‐workers report strong anisotropic thermal conductivity in polycrystalline layers of Ag_xSn_1‐xS)_1.2(TiS₂)₂ alloys. The researchers report that these properties originate from the natural intercalated structure of the materials. Additionally, Ag substitution at the Sn sites within the SnS phonon barrier layer induces an enhancement of thermoelectric performance, suggesting a new method for thermoelectric manipulation via anisotropy engineering.

各向异性热电学：（AgxSn1-xS）1.2（TiS2）2的多晶层中的强各向异性热导率，有望改善热电性能（Ann。Phys。11/2020）

Ran Ang及其同事在文章编号1900551中报告了在Ag _x Sn _{1- x} S）_1.2（TiS ₂）₂合金的多晶层中具有很强的各向异性导热性。研究人员报告说，这些特性源自材料的自然插入结构。此外，SnS声子势垒层内Sn位置处的Ag取代引起热电性能的增强，从而提出了一种通过各向异性工程进行热电操纵的新方法。
