We report first-principles density-functional study of electron-phonon interactions and thermoelectric transport properties of full-Heusler compounds Sr$_{2}$BiAu and Sr$_{2}$SbAu. Our results show that ultrahigh intrinsic bulk…

To veryfy "hot supreconductivity" recently proposed in lanthanum hydride-based compounds, we explored thermodynamically stable and superconducting phases in the lanthanum (La)-platinum (Pt)-hydrogen (H) ternary system at 20 GPa using an…

Calculations using density functional theory (DFT) were performed to investigate the structural, dynamical, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties of VTiRhZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) alloys. The most stable structure of…

We predict high thermoelectric efficiency in the layered perovskite La$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, based on calculations (mostly ab-initio) of the electronic structure, transport coefficients, and thermal conductivity in a wide temperature range. The…

Heusler compounds form a numerous class of intermetallics, which include two families of compositions ABC and AB2C, usually referred to as half- and full-Heusler compounds, respectively. Given their tunable electronic properties, made…

Half-Heusler compounds have attracted significant attention because of their topologically non-trivial electronic structure, which leads to unusual electron transport properties. We thoroughly investigated the magnetotransport properties of…

We employ density functional theory to investigate the thermoelectric properties of electron and hole doped PtSb$_2$. Our results show that for doping of 0.04 holes per unit cell (1.5$\times10^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$) PtSb$_2$ shows a high Seebeck…

On the basis of density functional theory and semi-classical Boltzmann theory, we have investigated the structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of 18--valence electron count rhodium based half-Heusler alloys…

Two-dimensional transition metal di-chalcogenides (TMDCs) have shown great potential as good quality thermoelectric materials at high temperature since past few years due to their suitable band gap tunabilty, low dimensionality and…

In spite of their relatively high lattice thermal conductivity $\kappa_{\ell}$, the XNiSn (X=Ti, Zr or Hf) half-Heusler compounds are good thermoelectric materials. Previous studies have shown that $\kappa_{\ell}$ can be reduced by…

Thermoelectric properties of Half Heusler alloys are predicted by adopting an ensemble modelling approach, specifically the stacking model integrated using Random Forest and XGBoost scheme. Leveraging a diverse dataset encompassing thermal…

We report a giant thermoelectric figure of merit $ZT$ (up to 6 at 1100 K) in $n$-doped lanthanum oxysulphate LaSO. Thermoelectric coefficients are computed from ab initio bands within Bloch-Boltzmann theory in an energy-, chemical…

Establishing strong electron-correlations not only shed lights on overcoming the trade-off limitations for optimizing thermoelectric materials, but can also introduce new functionalities that extend the vision of conventional thermoelectric…

We study theoretically the effects of anisotropy on the thermoelectric performance of $p$-type AgBiSe$_2$. We present an apparent realization of the thermoelectric benefits of one-dimensional "plate-like" carrier pocket anisotropy in the…

Ternary pnictides semiconductors with II-IV-V2 stoichiometry hold potential as cost effective thermoelectric materials with suitable electronic transport properties, but their lattice thermal conductivities ($\kappa$) are typically too…

Reliable evaluation of the lattice thermal conductivity is of importance for optimizing the figure-of-merit of thermoelectric materials. Traditionally, when deriving the phonon mediated thermal conductivity $\kappa_{ph} = \kappa -…
