Nowotny-Juza phase KBeX (X = N, P, As, Sb, and Bi) half-Heusler compounds: applicability in photovoltaics and thermoelectric generators

Pallavi Verma et al.

Summary: In this study, KBeX (X = N, P, As, Sb, and Bi) half-Heusler compounds were investigated for their inherent properties using FP-LAPW + lo scheme and WIEN2k package based on density functional theory. The structural and band structural parameters were explained, and various optical, thermoelectric, and thermodynamic parameters were analyzed in detail. The trend of lattice constant in these materials confirmed the reliability of this investigation. The band structures showed that all materials were direct band gap semiconductors except KBeN. Highest absorption and optical conductivity were observed, supporting the theoretical concept and accuracy of the projected outcomes. All materials (except KBeBi) exhibited a figure of merit close to unity in both p- and n-regions, with a slight decay observed with increasing temperature, indicating their potential as thermoelectric candidates at room temperature. The values of optical and thermoelectric parameters confirmed the photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications of these materials.

Robust stability, half metallic Ferromagnetism and structural properties of Co2RhSi, and Co2RuSi Heusler compounds-A first principles approach

Ashwani Kumar et al.

Summary: In this study, the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of newly tailored Co2RhSi and Co2RuSi Heusler compounds were successfully explored using density functional computation. The stability and equilibrium parameters of the materials in the Fm-3 m phase were determined from the cohesive energy curve. The modified Becke Johnson (mBJ) method was found to assess the exchange-correlation results more efficiently than the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The lattice parameters of the compounds in the stable Fm-3 m phase were calculated to be 6.11A for Co2RhSi and 6.25A for Co2RuSi. The spin magnetic moments and half-metallic character were determined from the density of states (DOS) and band structure calculations.

Summary: The structural, electronic, magnetic, elastic, and thermoelectric properties of full-Heusler alloys Co(2)ZrZ (Z = Al, Si, Ga, and Sn) were investigated using the framework of spin density functional theory. The results showed that the Cu2MnAl-type structure is more stable and exhibits half-metallic behavior with 100% spin polarization at Fermi energy.
