The hypothetical wurtzite structure chromium chalcogenides were investigated through first-principle calculation within density-functional theory. All compounds are predicted to be true half-metallic ferromagnets with an integer Bohr magneton of 4 μB per unit. Their half-metallic gaps are 1.147, 0.885, and 0.247 eV at their equilibrium volumes for wurtzite-type CrM (M = S, Se, and Te), respectively. The half-metallicity can be maintained even when volumes are expanded by more than 20% for all compounds and compressed by more than 20%, 20%, and 5%, for CrS, CrSe, and CrTe, respectively.

Half heusler compounds have gained attention due to their excellent properties and good thermal stability. In this paper, using first principle calculation and Boltzmann transport equation, we have investigated structural, electronic, mechanical and thermoelectric properties of PdXSn (X=Zr,Hf) half Heusler materials. These materials are indirect band gap semiconductors with band gap of 0.52 (0.44) for PdZrSn (PdHfSn). Calculations of elastic and phonon characteristics show that both materials are mechanically and dynamically stable. At 300K the magnitude of lattice thermal conductivity observed for PdZrSn is 15.16 W/mK and 9.53 W/mK for PdHfSn. The highest ZT value for PdZrSn and PdHfSn is 0.32 and 0.4 respectively.

PEDOT:Tos, a PSS-free PEDOT-based material, is a promising possible organic thermoelectric material for a practical conversion module because the material reportedly has a large power factor. However, since PEDOT:Tos is mainly reported to be a p-type thermoelectric material, the development of PSS-free PEDOT with n-type thermoelectric properties is desirable. Thus, in order to search for PSS-free PEDOT with n-type thermoelectric properties, we investigated the doping concentration of PTSA dependence of the thermoelectric property using the first-principle calculation. The band structure and the density of state indicated that the n-type thermal electromotive force was attributed to the electrons’ large effective mass. Such electrons were produced thanks to the binding of the dopant PTSA to the benzene ring. The contribution of the electron to the Seebeck coefficient increased with increasing PTSA doping concentrations.
