Origin of shear induced ‘catching bonds’ on half Heusler thermoelectric compounds XFeSb (X = Nb, Ta) and SnNiY (Y = Ti, Zr, Hf)

Abstract Half Heusler materials exhibit excellent thermoelectric and mechanical properties, rendering them potential candidates for advanced thermoelectric devices. Currently, the developments on interrelated devices are impeded by their inherent brittleness and limited ductility. Nevertheless, it e...
