How Severe Plastic Deformation Changes the Mechanical Properties of Thermoelectric Skutterudites and Half Heusler Alloys

Thermoelectric leg materials with a high figure of merit, ZT, are the essential basis to build thermoelectric generators, directly converting waste heat into electricity. Skutterudites and half-Heusler alloys are promising candidates because they can be used in a wide temperature range, the starting...
