Half-Heusler-like compounds with wide continuous compositions and tunable p- to n-type semiconducting thermoelectrics

Abstract

Half-and full-Heusler compounds are considered as independent phases with a natural composition gap. Here the authors report the discovery of half-Heusler-like TiRu1+x Sb with wide continuous compositions falling in the gap region and tunable p-to n-type semiconducting thermoelectrics.
