Abstract

The Heusler compounds have been recognized not only for their applications in spintronic and memory devices but also for thermoelectric devices. In this paper, the electronic and thermoelectric properties of Mn2PtCo full-Heusler compound have been investigated by using the full-potential linearized augmented planewave method and the Boltzmann semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory, respectively. The Mn2PtCo was found stable in Cu2MnAl-prototype structure with ferromagnetic phase. The Mn2PtCo showed metallic character in both the spin channels using generalized gradient approximation. Further, thermoelectric properties like Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, electronic thermal conductivity and power factor have been obtained within the specified temperature range (0–1000 K). The value of power factor was calculated to be 5.90 × 1011 WK−2m−1s−1 at 1000 K.
