Thermal conductivity of half-Heusler compounds from first-principles calculations

We demonstrate successful application of first-principles-based thermal conductivity calculation on half-Heusler compounds that are promising, environmentally friendly thermoelectric materials. Taking the case of a p-type half-Heusler structure, the harmonic and anharmonic interatomic force constant...
