متن کاملResolving the true band gap of ZrNiSn half-Heusler thermoelectric materials
Band structure parameters, such as the band gap, can be estimated using electrical transport properties. In many thermoelectric studies, the temperature dependent Seebeck coefficient is used to estimate the band gap using the Goldsmid–Sharp band gap formula: Eg 1⁄4 2eSmaxTmax. This important, fundamental parameter is useful for characterizing and understanding any semiconductor, but it is parti...
متن کاملThe intrinsic disorder related alloy scattering in ZrNiSn half-Heusler thermoelectric materials
The intrinsic structural disorder dramatically affects the thermal and electronic transport in semiconductors. Although normally considered an ordered compound, the half-Heusler ZrNiSn displays many transport characteristics of a disordered alloy. Similar to the (Zr,Hf)NiSn based solid solutions, the unsubstituted ZrNiSn compound also exhibits charge transport dominated by alloy scattering, as ...

متن کاملEffect of C and N Addition on Thermoelectric Properties of TiNiSn Half-Heusler Compounds
We investigated the thermoelectric properties of the ternary half-Heusler compound, TiNiSn, when introducing C and N. The addition of C or N to TiNiSn leads to an enhanced power factor and a decreasing lattice thermal conductivity by point defect phonon scattering. The thermoelectric performances of TiNiSn alloys are significantly improved by adding 1 at. % TiN, TiC, and figure of merit (ZT) va...
