Electronic and phonon contributions to the Thermoelectric properties of newly discovered half-Heusler alloys XHfPb (X= Ni, Pd, and Pt)

Paul O. Adebambo, Gboyega A. Adebayo, Roberto Guerra +1

In this work we calculate the thermoelectric figure of merit of XHfPb (X= Ni, Pd, and Pt) by computing the both the power factor and the lattice thermal conductivity by first princ…
