Structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermal properties of YMAu (M = Si or Ge or Sn) Half-Heusler compounds; A DFT study

The structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermal properties of the half-Heusler alloys; YSiAu, YGeAu and YSnAu were investigated using the density functional theory. For the YSiAu, YGeAu and YSnAu HH alloys, equilibrium lattice constants of 6.462 Å, 6.540 Å, and 6.739 Å were determined; thes...
