Hf/Sb co-doping induced a high thermoelectric performance of ZrNiSn: First-principles calculation
Abstract Previous experiments showed that Hf/Sb co-doping in ZrNiSn impressively improved the electrical conductivity (σ). To explore the physical reasons for this improvement, the electronic structures of HfxZr1−xNiSn1−ySby (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5; y = 0, 0.02) have been systematically investigated by us...
