Heusler Phase and Attribute of Nano-matter

Bangshidhar Goswami

Abstract


Three metals under composition have a figure-of-merit to impart semi-conduction in Heusler form of
alloyed state. Di-pole presence and absence in this perspective have inclusive as magnetic as well
semi-conductive properties under suggestion from low heat loss. The nuclear power plant apply
thermoelectric materials at a space reactor operated under high radiation flux, in place of
optoelectronic alloyed forms. Heusler in half-Heusler nano-composition has improved thermoelectric
properties after substantial reduction in thermal energy conduction, which has attributed semiconduction
to enable phonon scattering as a loss to heat devices. The pseudo-elastic behavior of
Heusler has been studied from electrical resistivity to evaluate the effect of precipitation on
martensitic transformation.
