Abstract
The addition of 1.7 vol.% of MgCuSn Half-Heusler nanoparticles and the optimization of the size/concentration of nanometer-sized inclusions/nodules homogeneously dispersed in the sintered microstructure are thought to reduce strongly the lattice-thermal conductivity of an N-type polycrystalline Mg2SixSn1−x thermoelectrical material. Accordingly the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) approaches 1.3–1.4 at 510 °C.
