Abstract We report on the synthesis and low temperature transport of Mg 2 Ge 1– y Sb y with 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.33. In these materials Sb substitutes for Ge in the antifluorite structure. Electrical and thermal transport measurements indicate that as the Sb content increases, vacancies are formed on the Mg sites thereby contrib…
