Electronic and thermoelectric properties of nonmagnetic inverse Heusler semiconductors Sc2FeSi and Sc2FeGe

Magnetic Full-Heusler Compounds for Thermoelectric Applications

“…It has been revealed that full-Heusler compounds exhibit a variety of electronic properties; they exhibit the properties of semiconductors [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], spingapless semiconductors (SGSs) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], semimetals [27][28][29], metals [30][31][32][33][34] and half-metals (HMs) [32,. Considering the magnetic properties, they have been reported to exhibit nonmagnetism [9][10][11][14][15][16][17][18], ferromagnetism [12, 19-24, 30-33, 36-46, 48-58, 61-66, 68-78], ferrimagnetism [13,30,35,47,59,60,67] and antiferromagnetism [25,26,34]. The full-Heusler, inverse Heusler and quaternary Heusler compounds obey the Slater-Pauling rule [79]…”

Electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of Fe2ZrP compound determined via first-principles calculations

“…In Table 2, a comparison between the present theoretical study and previous studies is made. [64][65][66][67] According to this table, as the temperature increases, S decreases, and the Fe 2 ZrP compound has suitable values for thermoelectric application. The experimental results of other studies related to the Seebeck coefficient of Heusler compounds are presented in Table 3.…”

High-Pressure-Induced Transition from Ferromagnetic Semiconductor to Spin Gapless Semiconductor in Quaternary Heusler Alloy VFeScZ (Z = Sb, As, P)

“…Thus, the dependence of SGS properties on pressure is focused in our present work. Since Sc2FeSi or Sc2FeGe is a nonmagnetic inverse-Heusler semiconductor [20] and ZrFeVGe shows typical SGS behavior [16], we, therefore, deduce that quaternary Heusler alloy VFeScZ (Z = Sb, As, P) is nearly an SGS or a semiconductor.…”
