Rhodium-based half-Heusler alloys as thermoelectric materials

Abstract

is ∼1 for RhTiBi, and in between ∼(0.38-0.67) for RhTiP, RhTiAs, and RhTiSb. The low thermal conductivities and sufficiently large value of power factor of these alloys suggest that they are promising thermoelectric materials for use in thermoelectric applications.
