Pyrite FeS$_2$ has been investigated for a wide range of applications, including thermoelectrics due to previous observation of large thermopower at room-temperature. However, the values of thermopower reported in the literature is…
The quest for thermoelectric materials with high figures of merit is an ongoing and significant area of research. In this study, we investigate the thermoelectric properties of the CoTiSi half-Heusler alloy using density functional theory…
We employed first-principles calculations to investigate the thermoelectric transport properties of the compound As$_2$Se$_3$. Early experiments and calculations have indicated that these properties are controlled by a kind of native defect…

Thermoelectric materials create an electric potential when subject to a temperature gradient and vice versa hence they can be used to harvest waste heat into electricity and in thermal management applications. However, finding highly…
