Stronger phonon scattering by larger differences in atomic mass and size in p-type half-Heuslers Hf[subscript 1−x]Ti[subscript x]CoSb[subscript 0.8]Sn[subscript 0.2]

High lattice thermal conductivity has been the bottleneck for further improvement of the thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) of half-Heuslers (HHs) Hf[subscript 1−x]Zr[subscript x]CoSb[subscript 0.8]Sn[subscript 0.2]. Theoretically, the lattice thermal conductivity can be reduced by exploring larger...
