Enhancing Thermoelectric Performance of TiNiSn Half-Heusler Compounds via Modulation Doping
Tanya Berry,Chenguang Fu,Gudrun Auffermann,Gerhard H. Fecher,Walter Schnelle,Federico Serrano-Sánchez,Yuan Yue,Hong Liang,Claudia Felser +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the least expensive alloy in this half-Heusler family (TiNiSn) was investigated and the modulation doping of half-metallic MnNiSb in the TiNiSn system was realized by using spark plasma sintering.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of disorder on electronic and magnetic properties of quaternary Heusler alloy CoFeMnSi with LiMgPbSb-type structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of disorder including antisite and swap on electronic and magnetic properties of quaternary Heusler alloy CoFeMnSi with LiMgPbSb-type structure is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced thermoelectric performance in TiNiSn-based half-Heuslers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a ZT > 0.5 in arc-melted TiNiSn-based ingots, which is attributed to excess nickel in the half-Heusler structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct evidence for minority spin gap in the Co2MnSi Heusler alloy
Stéphane Andrieu,Amina Neggache,Thomas Hauet,Thibaut Devolder,Ali Hallal,Mairbek Chshiev,A. M. Bataille,Patrick Le Fèvre,François Bertran +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the half-metallic magnetic character of Co 2 MnSi using spin-resolved photoemission, ab initio calculation, and ferromagnetic resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological effects on the thermoelectric properties of Ti0.3Zr0.35Hf0.35Ni1+δSn alloys following phase separation
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of κl reduction due to generation of composites based on phase separation of off-stoichiometric Ti0.3Zr0.35Hf 0.35Ni1+δSn alloys into half-and full-Heusler composites was investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple
TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects
Walter Kohn,L. J. Sham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations are applied to a uniform electron gas, where the exchange and correlation portions of the chemical potential of the gas are used as additional effective potentials.

Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation.
John P. Perdew,J. A. Chevary,S. H. Vosko,Koblar A. Jackson,Mark R. Pederson,David J. Singh,Carlos Fiolhais +6 more
TL;DR: A way is found to visualize and understand the nonlocality of exchange and correlation, its origins, and its physical effects as well as significant interconfigurational and interterm errors remain.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 3865 (1996)]
TL;DR: For the molecules Be2, F2, and P2 of Table I, the unrestricted Hartree-Fock solution breaks the singlet spin symmetry, even though the density functional solutions do not.

Giant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr magnetic superlattices.
Mario Norberto Baibich,J. M. Broto,Albert Fert,F. Nguyen Van Dau,Frédéric Petroff,P. Etienne,G. Creuzet,A. Friederich,Jean Chazelas +8 more
TL;DR: This work ascribes this giant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr superlattices prepared by molecularbeam epitaxy to spin-dependent transmission of the conduction electrons between Fe layers through Cr layers.
