The quaternary Heusler LuCoTiSi, LuCoTiGe, and LuCoTiSn compounds' physical properties have been investigated using the GGA approximation based on the density functional theory. These compounds are stable in the ferromagnetic phase and semi-stable in the non-magnetic phase. Elastic studies show that these compounds are quite stable and belong to the category of ductile materials. Phonon calculations also show that these two combinations are quite stable, and the phonon levels in the band structure are all in the positive region. The LuCoTiSi, LuCoTiGe, and LuCoTiSn compounds are half-metallic with 100% spin polarization with 2.0l B 3.0 l B , and 2.0l B , respectively. The maximum value of their Seebeck (S) coefficient occurred at 130 K. The figure of merit (ZT) coefficient of these compounds at 100 K equals one and decreased to room temperature with a gentle slope, indicating their thermoelectric efficiency at low and room temperatures. All compounds have accessible regions that referred to their thermodynamic stability. The LuCoTiGe case has a more extensive accessible region than other cases of the thermodynamic phase diagram.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
