Abstract:The Half-Heusler semiconductor alloys can be used efficiently as thermoelectric materials to transform the waste heat into useful electrical energy. The low-cost and large-scale production of suitable half-Heusler alloys are important in the present context. In this work, a nanostructured half-Heusler NbFeSb alloy is obtained by mechanical alloying with 15h of milling. The structural parameters of the sample are investigated by powder X-ray diffraction followed by Rietveld refinement. Differential scanning cal… Show more
“…Additionally, in recent years, experimental research have examined the spintronics and thermoelectric application of Heusler compounds. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] In this case, A. El-Khouly, et al synthesized FeV 0.24 Nb 0.4 Hf 0.16 Ti 0.2 Sb Heusler alloys by employing arc melting followed by induction melting and investigated the thermoelectric properties of these alloys. 39 Their method led to, with low thermal conductivity and gure of merit value of 0.44 at 725 K for FeV 0.24 Nb 0.4 Hf 0.16 Ti 0.2 Sb, suitable for thermoelectric applications.…”
