A holistic approach to understanding structural, magneto-electronic, thermoelectric, and thermodynamic properties of RhMnZ (Z = Si, Ge) half Heusler alloys

Abstract

This study analyzes RhMnZ half-Heusler alloys structural, mechanical, thermal, electronic, and thermoelectric properties. DFT and Boltzmann transport equations show metallic behavior, stability, and potential for thermoelectric applications.
