A first-principles approach to half-Heusler thermoelectrics: Accelerated prediction and understanding of material properties

Half-Heusler alloys are an exciting class of thermoelectric materials that have shown great improvements in the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, during the past 15 years. Many of the key discoveries in half-Heusler alloys have been brought forth by fundamental understandings gained from first-pri...
