The influence of p- and n-doping on the intrinsic properties of the Heusler compound Fe2VAl — •Franziska Seifert1,2, Christian G.F.

The Heusler compound Fe2VAl is considered as a non-magnetic thermoelectric material. In this work, we studied the intrinsic properties of the Heusler compound Fe2VAl and the influence of p- and n-doping on the intrinsic materials properties of the corresponding Si and Ti doped compounds using single crystals. Electron back scattering diffraction reveals the presence of a V-rich secondary phase in particular in crystals with Si and in the parent compound. The depletion of V from the Fe2VAl matrix apparently leads to localized Fe moments and to ferromagnetism in the corresponding samples. Interestingly, the sample with Ti and less V depletion shows a significant enhancement of the figure of merit compared to the other samples.
