摘要
The present study undertook an examination of the diverse characteristics of the Half-Heusler KVTe alloy, encompassing its electronic, elastic, thermoelectric, mechanical, magnetic, and structural characteristics. In this investigation, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) was utilized, employing the GGA-PBE approximation. The findings of the analysis indicated that KVTe exhibited the greatest stability in the ferromagnetic (FM) configuration. An analysis of the density of states indicates that KVTe exhibits half-metallic behavior, suggesting its potential utility in spintronic applications. Moreover, a detailed examination of the elastic characteristics and mechanical response of the alloy indicates that KVTe exhibits robust mechanical stability. Finally, the results indicated that this material could be utilized in heat dissipation devices due to its promising thermoelectric properties with low Seebeck coefficient and high thermal conductivity.
