Quantification of uncertainties in thermoelectric properties of materials from a first-principles prediction method: An approach based on Gaussian process regression

Journal Article Wee, Daehyun ; Kim, Jeeyoung ; Bang, Semi ; ... - Physical Review Materials

We present the electron-phonon averaged via Gaussian process regression (EPA-GPR) method, in which the electron-phonon coupling matrix is represented as a function of two energies and is in turn modeled as a Gaussian process. The EPA-GPR method can be used as an efficient method to estimate thermoelectric properties of materials for fast-screening applications, comparable to the original electron-phonon averaged (EPA) method and the electron-phonon averaged via moving-least-squares (EPA-MLS) method. The EPA-GPR method does not require specification of any open parameter, unlike the other EPA-related methods, since all the hyperparameters in the model can be unambiguously estimated within the type IImore »« less

First principle prediction of half-metallic ferromagnetism above room temperature in half-heusler alloys

Journal Article Dinh, Van An ; Sato, Kazunori ; Katayama-Yoshida, Hiroshi - AIP Conference Proceedings

A first principle study of half-metallicity and ferromagnetism in half-heusler alloys NiMnZ (Z = Si, P, Ge, As, and Sb) is given. The half-metallicity and ferromagnetism are predicted via the calculation of electronic structure, and Curie temperature. The stability of the orthorhombic and tetragonal structures and C1{sub b} at various values of lattice parameters is also studied by means of the pseudo-potential method. All alloys exhibit the half-metallicity and ferromagnetism above room temperature.

Structural, Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Properties of Half-Heusler Alloys RuMnZ (Z = P, As): a First-Principle Study

Journal Article Mehmood, Nasir ; Ahmad, Rashid - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

Half-Heusler alloys RuMnZ (Z = P, As ) are studied in the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). Structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties are calculated and analyzed using the WIEN2k simulation code. All the calculations are done using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Equilibrium lattice parameters are found to be in the range 5.5–5.6 Å. Band gaps of the compounds and density of states (DoS) analysis reveal that the minority spin-down states are semi-conducting while the majority spin-up states are conducting confirming the half-metallic nature of the compounds. Hence, at Fermi level, states are 100more »« less

Electronic Structures, Magnetic Properties and Half-Metallicity of Heusler Compounds Hf{sub 2}VZ (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb): First-Principle Calculations

Journal Article Li, Y. ; Liu, G. D. ; Wang, X. T. ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

We investigate the electronic structures, magnetic properties and half-metallicity of Heusler compounds Hf{sub 2}VZ (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) with Hg{sub 2}CuTi-type structure by using the first-principle calculations based on density-functional theory. It is found that the equilibrium lattice constants of Hf{sub 2}VZ (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) compounds are 6.68, 6.88, 6.91, 6.57, 6.63, 6.85 and 6.94 Å, respectively. Hf{sub 2}VZ (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Si and Sn) compounds exhibit half-metallicity at their respective equilibrium lattice constants. Hf{sub 2}VGe and Hf{sub 2}VPb do not exhibit half-metallicity at theirmore »« less
