TmNiSb

TmNiSb is an intermetallic compound composed of thulium, nickel, and antimony, belonging to the half-Heusler alloy family—a class of materials engineered for electronic and thermoelectric applications. This is primarily a research material investigated for its potential in thermoelectric energy conversion and magnetoresistive devices, where the combination of metallic bonding and specific electronic band structure offers advantages in temperature-dependent electrical and thermal transport. Half-Heusler compounds like TmNiSb are notable for their tunable properties and potential to outperform conventional metallic or semiconducting alternatives in niche applications requiring simultaneous control of electrical conductivity and thermal management.
