Thermoelectric response of ZrNiSn and ZrNiPb Half-Heuslers: Applicability of semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory

We investigated the thermoelectric transport mechanism of ZrNiSn and ZrNiPb Half-Heuslers within the Boltzmann transport theory, under constant relaxation time approximation. The prediction of band structure behavior along the high symmetry Brillouin zone and density of states are used to establish...
