Atomistic study of an ideal metal/thermoelectric contact: The full-Heusler/half-Heusler interface
Half-Heusler alloys such as the (Zr,Hf)NiSn intermetallic compounds are important thermoelectric materials for converting waste heat into electricity. Reduced electrical resistivity at the hot interface between the half-Heusler material and a metal contact is critical for device performance; however...
