چکیده انگلیسی
Fe2VAl and Fe2TiSn are full Heusler compounds with non-magnetic ground state. The two compounds are good thermoelectric materials. PBE and LDA (PW92) are the two most commonly used density functionals to study the Heusler compounds. Along with these two well studied exchange-correlation functionals, recently developed PBEsol, mBJ and SCAN functionals are employed to study the two compounds. Using the five functionals equilibrium lattice parameter and bulk modulus are calculated. Obtained values are compared with experimental reports wherever available. Electronic structure properties are studied by calculating dispersion curves, total and partial density of states. For Fe2VAl, band gap of 0.22â¯eV is obtained from the mBJ potential which is in reasonable agreement with experimental value while, for Fe2TiSn band gap of 0.68â¯eV is obtained. Fe2VAl is predicted to be semimetallic with different values of negative gaps from LDA, PBEsol, PBE and SCAN functionals. Whereas, Fe2TiSn is found to be semimetallic (semiconducting) from LDA, PBEsol (PBE,SCAN) functionals employed calculations. From the dispersion curve effective mass values are also computed to see the contribution to the Seebeck coefficient. In Fe2TiSn, a flat band is present along the Î-X direction with calculated value of effective mass â¼36 more than the mass of electron. The improvements or inadequacies among the functionals in explaining the properties of full Heusler alloys for thermoelectric application are thus observed through this study.
