In line for semiconducting electronic properties, we systematically scrutinize the likely to be
grown half-Heusler compounds XTaZ (X= Pd, Pt and Z= Al, Ga, In) for their stability and …

Due to their distinct characteristics and prospective uses in several disciplines, half-Heusler
(HH) materials are a family of intermetallic compounds that have garnered a lot of attention …

Half-Heusler materials have been studied on a large scale due to their high stability and
wide range of band gaps. Here, we have studied the fundamental physical and …

We hereby discuss the thermoelectric properties of PdXSn (X= Zr, Hf) half Heuslers in
relation to lattice thermal conductivity probed under effective mass (hole/electrons) …

In this study, the full potential linearization enhanced plane wave method in density
functional theory is used. Additionally, the structure, mechanical, and thermoelectric …

To address growing global energy needs, half Heusler compounds offer a cost-effective and
efficient solution for power generation applications. We present a study on the structural …

By adjusting the lattice geometry through pressure engineering, it is possible to further
enhance and customize various properties of materials even at zero pressure. The utilization …

We report the strain dependent electronic, phonon and thermoelectric properties of Li-based
Half-Heusler compounds. A direct bandgap of 1.50 eV (for CuLiS) and 1.03 eV (for CuLiTe) …

In this work, we introduce a new class of stable semiconducting equiatomic quaternary
Heusler alloys. The 21 new semiconductors reported in this work contain 18 valence …
