Enhancing Thermoelectric Properties through Control of Nickel Interstitials and Phase Separation in Heusler/Half-Heusler TiNi1.1Sn Composites

Thermoelectric devices, which allow direct conversion of heat into electrical energy, require materials with improved figures of merit ( z T ) in order to ensure widespread adoption. Several techniques have been proposed to increase the z T of known thermoelectric materials through the r...
