Iron based efficient room temperature thermoelectric materials: a DFT study on FeXSn (X = Nb, Ta) half-Heusler alloys
Source abstract
Abstract
First-principles calculations show that FeNbSn and FeTaSn are stable half-Heusler alloys with half-metallicity, ferromagnetism, and promising thermoelectric performance, supported by low κ L obtained from Slack and AIMD methods.
