A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure
investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for …

Intermetallic Heusler alloys are amongst the most attractive half-metallic systems due to their
high Curie temperatures and their structural similarity to binary semiconductors. In this …

A theoretical evaluation of the thermoelectric‐related electrical transport properties of 36 half‐
Heusler (HH) compounds, selected from more than 100 HHs, is carried out in this paper. The …

Within density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the structural, elastic, electronic,
magnetic, and thermoelectric properties of XCrSb (X= Fe and Ni) half-Heusler (HH) alloys …

Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting reviews the vast
improvements in technology and application of thermoelectric energy with a specific …

An enhancement in the dimensionless thermoelectric figure‐of‐merit (ZT) of an n‐type half‐
Heusler material is reported using a nanocomposite approach. A peak ZT value of 1.0 was …

We report a peak dimensionless figure-of-merit (ZT) of∼ 1 at 700° C in a nanostructured p-
type Nb0. 6Ti0. 4FeSb0. 95Sn0. 05 composition. Even though the power factor of the Nb0 …

Half-Heusler compounds XYZ, also called semi-Heusler compounds, crystallize in the C1 b
MgAgAs structure, in the space group. We report a systematic examination of band gaps and …

We study the exchange interactions in half-metallic Heusler alloys using first-principles
calculations in conjunction with the frozen-magnon approximation. The Curie temperature is …

Half-metallic Heusler alloys are amongst the most promising materials for future magneto-
