ZnIn2Te4 and CdIn2Te4 have a defect-chalcopyrite tetragonal crystal structure with structural vacancies. In order to investigate the effects of vacancies on the lattice thermal conductivity (κlat), single phase samples of ZnIn 2Te4 and CdIn2Te4 were synthesized and their κlat values were examined in...
