Local Structure of TiNiSn-based thermoelectrics
We propose to study the local structure in two series of promising thermoelectric materials: Ti1-xZrxNiSn and TiNi1+ySn. Diffraction experiments on Ti1-xZrxNiSn reveal multiple... -
Distribution of Copper in TiNiCuySn (0 < y < 0.25) Half-Heusler Nanocomposites
Metal-rich TiNiCuySn Half-Heusler nanocomposites have promising power factors and may find application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of polycrystalline half-Heusler thermoelec...
The aim of the proposal is to determine detailed phonon density of states data for a range of half-Heusler samples, and combine this with DFT modelling in collaboration with... -
Experimental compositions of TiNiSn and NbCoSn-based half-Heusler thermoelect...
The aim of the experiment is to use neutron powder diffraction to determine the crystallographic site occupancies for a number of half-Heusler compounds. These materials are of... -
Cation Ordering in Thermoelectric half-Heusler Materials
The main aim of the proposed experiment is to probe the cation distributions in a series of half-Heusler A(MZ) intermetallic phases that are considered for use in thermoelectric...
