Synthesis and insights into crystal structure, lattice dynamics and dielectric function of a new 9P–van der Waals compound SnBi4Te4

The single crystal of SnBi4Te4—a member of n(Bi2)∙m(SnBi2Te4) homological series and potential candidate material with nontrivial topology was grown by the modified Bridgman method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer...
