Optimized thermoelectric performance of the n-type half-Heusler material TiNiSn by substitution and addition of Mn

Alloys based on the half-Heusler compound TiNiSn with the addition of Mn or with a substitution of Ti by Mn are investigated as high-temperature thermoelectric materials. In both materials an intrinsic phase separation is observed, similar to TiNiSn where Ti has been partially substituted by Hf, wit...
