…black crystals; they are semiconductors with n-type conductivity and have potential applications in thermoelectric generators. Mg2Si crystallizes in the antifluorite structure. In the face-centered cubic lattice, Si centers occupy the corners and face-centered positions of the unit cell, and Mg centers occupy eight tetrahedral…
