Atomistic study of an ideal metal/thermoelectric contact: the full-Heusler/half-Heusler interface

Catalin D. Spataru, Yuping He, François Léonard

Half-Heusler alloys such as the (Zr,Hf)NiSn intermetallic compounds are important thermoelectric materials for converting waste heat into electricity. Reduced electrical resistivit…
