Native defects and impurity band behavior in half-Heusler thermoelectric NbFeSb
Literature Information

To investigate the electronic behavior and magnetic properties of NbFeSb, we have performed 93Nb NMR, specific heat and magnetic measurements on NbFeSb samples heat treated at high temperatures. Magnetic measurements combined with an observed Schottky anomaly and changes in the NMR line width indicate the presence of a 0.2% concentrated native magnetic defect in stoichiometric NbFeSb samples. The origin of these native defects is believed to be due to Fe antisites on Nb sites. In addition, NMR shift and spin–lattice relaxation results below 200 K reveal a Korringa-like response indicating heavily-doped p-type behavior due to native defects. Above 280 K, this converts to an activated behavior, indicating the presence of an impurity band, empty at low temperatures, which is located around 0.03 eV above the valence band maximum.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
