Effects of W alloying on the electronic structure, phase stability and thermoelectric power factor in epitaxial CrN thin films

Niraj Kumar Singh, Victor Hjort, Sanath Kumar Honnali +5

CrN-based alloy thin films are of interest as thermoelectric materials for energy harvesting. Ab initio calculations show that dilute alloying of CrN with 3 at.% W substituting Cr,…
