The local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) have been employed within the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-LAPW + lo) method as exchange–correlation functionals.

We investigated the dependence of volume, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, Debye temperature, entropy, isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, and lattice thermal conductivity on temperature and pressure using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. We analyzed the thermoelectric parameters, including the Seebeck coefficient, thermal and electrical conductivity of holes and electrons, figure of merit, and power factor, in the <i>xx</i>, <i>yy</i>, and <i>zz</i> directions, through the quasi-classical Boltzmann model. The findings demonstrate a figure of merit exceeding 0.8 across a wide range of charge carrier concentrations and a Seebeck coefficient greater than 0.9 mV/K, making Ba<sub>2</sub>NbAsO<sub>6</sub>, Ba<sub>2</sub>NbBiO<sub>6</sub>, and Ba<sub>2</sub>NbSbO<sub>6</sub> compounds promising candidates for heat-to-electricity conversion applications. We assessed the mechanical stability and characteristics, including bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Debye temperature, and the velocities of longitudinal, transverse, and average sound propagation, derived from the single-crystal elastic constants <i>C</i><sub>ij</sub>, which were evaluated numerically using the strain-stress technique.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
