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 ...

In search of new highly efficient and mechanically robust thermoelectric materials, the investigations of this thesis focused on the phase structure, the thermoelectric efficiency (“figure of merit” ZT), and mechanical properties of two p-type Half-Heusler (HH) alloys, i.e. several TiFeSb alloys with Ti/Fe, Fe/Co and Sb/Sn substitutions, and a series of NbFeSb alloys doped in the Nb site with g...

We have used HRTEM and STEM EDX to determine the important roles of endotaxial nanostructures in a lead-free thermoelectric (TE) material, SnCd0.03Te, with 2% CdS and 2% ZnS; where maximum ZTs of ~1.3 and ~1.1 are achieved at 873 K, respectively. TE materials convert wasted heat into electric energy. The conversion efficiency of TE materials is characterized by a dimensionless figure of merit Z...
