Abstract

We theoretically investigate the electronic and thermoelectric properties of Mn2MnAl using first-principles calculations and linearized Boltzmann transport formalism with constant relaxation time approximation. As a full-Heusler alloy, Mn2MnAl possesses a stoichiometry of X2YZ, where X and Y represent transition metal elements while Z is the main group element. Within our choice of pseudopotentials and other first-principles calculation parameters, we find that Mn2MnAl is a metallic ferromagnet with large spin polarization. Despite its metallic character, from the calculation of Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity, we find that Mn2MnAl exhibits a relatively large power factor compared to other common thermoelectric materials.
