Abstract
An ab initio theoretical evaluation of the electrical and thermal transport properties of HfRhBi, ZrIrBi and ZrRhBi was performed. The calculated band structures of the three compounds served as a hint for their promising thermoelectric properties. Detailed results for the thermoelectric properties are also presented.Keywords
