Anomalous dependence of thermoelectric parameters on carrier concentration and electronic structure in Mn-substituted Fe2CrAl Heusler alloy
We investigate the high temperature thermoelectric properties of Heusler alloys Fe2-xMnxCrAl (0<x<1). Substitution of 12.5% Mn at Fe-site (x = 0.25) causes a significant increase in high temperature resistivity (\r{ho}) and an enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient (S), as compared to the parent alloy. However, as the ...
