Finding Unprecedentedly Low-Thermal-Conductivity Half-Heusler Semiconductors via High-Throughput Materials Modeling
The lattice thermal conductivity (κω) is a key property for many potential applications of compounds. Discovery of materials with very low or high κω remains an experimental challenge due to high costs and time-consuming synthesis procedures. High-throughput computational prescreening is a valuable approach for significantly reducing the set of candidate compounds. In this article, we introduce...
متن کاملHalf-Heusler semiconductors as piezoelectrics.
We use a first-principles rational-design approach to demonstrate the potential of semiconducting half-Heusler compounds as a previously unrecognized class of piezoelectric materials. We perform a high-throughput scan of a large number of compounds, testing for insulating character and calculating structural, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties. Our results provide guidance for the experim...

متن کاملConductivity-limiting bipolar thermal conductivity in semiconductors
Intriguing experimental results raised the question about the fundamental mechanisms governing the electron-hole coupling induced bipolar thermal conduction in semiconductors. Our combined theoretical analysis and experimental measurements show that in semiconductors bipolar thermal transport is in general a "conductivity-limiting" phenomenon, and it is thus controlled by the carrier mobility r...
متن کاملGrain structure effects on the lattice thermal conductivity of Ti-based half-Heusler alloys
Half-Heusler alloys with the general formula TiNiSn12xSbx are currently being investigated for their potential as thermoelectric ~TE! materials. A systematic investigation of the effect of Sb doping on the Sn site and Zr doping on the Ti site on the electrical and thermal transport of the TiNiSn system has been performed. Unexpectedly, lattice thermal conductivity kL appears to increase somewha...
