We investigate the structural and physical properties of the AgSnmSbSem+2 system with m=1-20 (i.e. SnSe matrix and ~5-50 % AgSbSe2) from length scales ranging from atomic, nano and macro. We find the 50:50 composition, with m=1 (i.e. AgSnSbSe3), forms a stable cation disordered cubic rock-salt p-typ...
