Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of intermetallic materials with 1: 1: 1 (often
called Half-Heusler) or 2: 1: 1 composition comprising more than 1500 members. Today …

In this review, we consider state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) investigations of
strongly correlated systems performed with the meta-generalized gradient approximation …

Recent studies have reported an interesting class of semiconductor materials that bridge the
gap between semiconductors and half-metallic ferromagnets. These materials, called spin …

Linking the fundamental physics of band structure and scattering theory with macroscopic
features such as measured temperature dependencies of electronic and thermal transport is …

We report on the thermoelectric properties of the Heusler-type Fe 2 VAl 1− x Ge x alloys with
compositions 0≤ x≤ 0.20. While Fe 2 VAl (x= 0) exhibits a semiconductorlike behavior in …

We have studied the thermoelectric properties of the stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric
Heusler compounds Fe 2− x V 1+ x M (M= Al, Ga) between 10 and 300 K. Seebeck …

Discovered more than 200 years ago in 1821, thermoelectricity is nowadays of global
interest as it enables direct interconversion of thermal and electrical energy via the …

We report the effects of Si substitution on the temperature-dependent electrical resistivity,
Seebeck coefficient, as well as thermal conductivity in the Heusler-type compound Fe 2 VAl …

Efficient thermoelectric devices are typically built from semiconducting materials since their
band gap leads to an asymmetry in the continuum of energy-dependent charge transport …

We review many-body effects, their microscopic origin, as well as their impact on
thermoelectricity in correlated narrow-gap semiconductors. Members of this class—such as …
