Half Heusler (HH) thermoelectric alloys provide a wide platform to choose materials with non-toxic and earth abundant elements. This article presents an ab-initio theoretical evaluation of electrical and thermal transport properties of…

We expand our study on the full-Heusler compounds [I. Galanakis \textit{et al.}, Appl. Phys. Lett. \textbf{89}, 042502 (2006)] to cover also the case of doping and disorder in the case of Co$_2$MnAl and Co$_2$MnGa half-metallic Heusler…

Context Mixed-metal clusters have long been studied because of their peculiar properties and how they change with cluster size, composition and charge state and their potential roles in catalysis. The characterization of these clusters is…

The half metallic and magnetic properties of Zr2RhZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) alloys with an Hg2CuTi-type structure were systematically investigated using the first-principle calculations. Zr2RhZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) alloys are predicted to be…

Half-Heuslers are a promising family for thermoelectric (TE) applications, yet only a small fraction of their potential chemistries has been experimentally explored. In this work, we introduce a distinct computational high-throughput…

Rational material design by elemental substitution is useful in tailoring materials to have desirable properties. Here we consider three non-equivalent substitutional series based on Co$_2$FeGe, viz; (Co$_{2-\alpha}$Mn$_\alpha$)FeGe,…

We propose a general rule for estimating the magnetic moments of Co$ 2$(cobalt)-based Heusler alloys, especially when doped with late transition metals. We come up with a descriptor that can characterise both pure Co$_2$YZ compounds and the…

Results of Co and Ni substituted AlN in the zinc blende phase are presented. For spin up states the hybridized N-2p and Co/Ni-3d states form the valance bands with a bandgap around the Fermi level for both materials, while in the case of…

Since their discovery around a century ago, the structure and chemistry of the multi-functional half-Heusler semiconductors have been studied extensively as three component systems. The elemental groups constituting these ternary compounds…
