“…It should be noted here that many such efforts have been made to optimize the thermoelectric properties of Fe 2 VAl, resulting in an encouraging increment in the Seebeck coefficient value from ∼35 µV/K to ∼130 µV/K [14,34,35,36,39]. In Ru 2 TaAl and Ru 2 NbGa, by introducing offstoichiometry, substantial increase in ZT could be achieved [26,75]…”
