Electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of epitaxial Sc1-xVxNy thin films grown on MgO(001)
Susmita Chowdhury, Niraj Kumar Singh, Sanath Kumar Honnali +4
The electronic structure of Sc1-xVxNy epitaxial films with different alloying concentrations of V are investigated with respect to effects on thermoelectric properties. Band struct…
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,…
