The results show a strong temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity for Bi2Te3 nanofilms with an ideal structure; moreover, as the height of step-junction defects increased, the thermal conductivity decreased, exhibiting a linear dependency. In addition, the thermal conductivity gradually decreased by 36%–40% as the width of the interface defects increased. We also verified the self-assembly mechanism for nanoscale Bi2Te3 and found that the Bi2Te3–Te interface induces strong phonon scattering.
