  • MATERIAL COMPRISING A SEMI-HEUSLER ALLOY AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SUCH A MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20140127070
    Abstract: A material includes at least two different alloy phases. At least two alloy phases are each formed by at least one thermodynamically stable semi-Heusler alloy. The semi-Heusler alloys of the at least two alloy phases are different from one another. At least two of the semi-Heusler alloys have at least partly sintered particles that have an average particle size D50 in the range of less than or equal to 100 nm. Such a material has particularly good thermoelectric properties. A process is implemented to produce the material.
