Mg<sub>2</sub>Sn is a potential thermoelectric (TE) material that can directly convert waste heat into electricity. In this study, Mg<sub>2</sub>Sn single-crystal ingots are prepared by melting under an Ar atmosphere. The prepared ingots contain Mg vacancies (V<sub>Mg</sub>) as point defects, which results in the formation of two regions: an Mg<sub>2</sub>Sn single-crystal region without V<sub>Mg</sub> (denoted as the single-crystal region) and a region containing V<sub>Mg</sub> (denoted as the ...[more]
