A M 2 X 2 compounds that crystallize in the CaAl 2 Si 2 structure type have emerged as a promising class of <i>n</i>- and <i>p</i>-type thermoelectric materials. Alloying on the cation (<i>A</i>) site is a frequently used approach to optimize the thermoelectric transport properties of A M 2 X 2 compounds, and complete solid solubility has been reported for many combinations of cations. In the present study, we investigate the phase stability of the <i>A</i>Mg 2 Sb 2 system with mixed occupancy o ...[more]
