Electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of Fe2+xV1−xAl

We report the electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of full-Heusler alloy Fe2VAl with Fe antisite doping (Fe2+xV1−xAl) as obtained from the first-principles Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson potential. The results are discussed in re...
