Taking advantage of recent advances in using theoretical calculations to predict the properties of new materials, researchers reported Thursday the discovery of a new class of half-Heusler thermoelectric compounds, including one with a record high figure of merit--a metric used to determine how efficiently a thermoelectric material can convert heat to electricity.
