Linking the fundamental physics of band structure and scattering theory with macroscopic
features such as measured temperature dependencies of electronic and thermal transport is …

The full-Heusler VFe2Al has emerged as an important thermoelectric material in its thin film
and bulk phases. VFe2Al is attractive for use as a thermoelectric materials because of it …

Recently, n-type Fe 2 VAl-based full-Heusler systems, exhibiting high thermoelectric power
factors, have sparked new interest in this material class for thermoelectric applications. In …

Efficient thermoelectric devices are typically built from semiconducting materials since their
band gap leads to an asymmetry in the continuum of energy-dependent charge transport …

We report a study of structural, magnetic, heat capacity and thermoelectric properties of a Ru-
based Heusler alloy, Ru 2 TiGe. The magnetic measurements reveal that at higher …
