Thermoelectric properties of tungsten-substituted Heusler Fe2VAl alloy

Abstract: Effects of yttrium doping on the thermoelectric properties of Hf 0.6 Zr 0.4 NiSn 0.98 Sb 0.02 half-Heusler alloys A Heusler Fe 2 V 1-x W x Al sintered alloy was synthesized to evaluate the effect of W substitution on thermoelectric properties of the Heusler alloy. The Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductivity are simultaneously enhanced through electron injection resulting from the W substitution. Comparison with the Si-substituted Fe 2 VAl alloy reveals that the additional electronic states derived … Show more

“…We start our search from Fe2VAl, which, in spite of relatively modest TE properties (ZT ~ 0.13 -0.2 [24,58], PF = 4-6 mW/mK2 [24,28] at 300^400 K), is considered for low-cost TE applications [59], As clarified recently [21], it is an intrinsic semiconductor, with a low band gap between the highest valence bands of dominant Fe t2g character and a highly dispersive lowest conduction band of dominant V eg character (see the dotted line in Fig. 1).…”

“…The common strategy for reducing κ L of solids can be attained by enhancing the phonon scattering through introducing crystallographic disorder [35,36]. For example, the large κ L in Fe 2 VAl has been effectively reduced to 5 W/m K by substituting tungsten to the vanadium sites [37]. With this respect, the promising low κ L in Ru 2 NbGa has an advantage of improving the ZT = S 2 T /ρκ for thermoelectric applications.…”
