Abstract | The theoretical finding of a large group of intrinsic off-stoichiometry quaternary Heusler-like semiconductors with mixing and tunable occupation of 4c-4d atomic sites, such as FeCoTiSb with non-integer x + y > 1 are reported. Those semiconductors are never reported before, and they radically break the well-recognized 18- (or 24-) valence electron counting (VEC) rule and the exact 4c- (or both 4c- and 4d-) atomic sites stoichiometry for the traditional quaternary half-Heusler (or full-Heusler) semiconductors. Physically, the novel semiconductors can be designed by following a d-orbital-determined compensation rule. The extra atoms fill in the tetrahedral vacancies of the half-Heusler structure, introduce symmetry-constrained d orbitals near the Fermi level, large crystal field splitting, and then form a bandgap at appropriate fractional compositions, which leads to an exact compensated electronic structure. The newly established compensation rule reveals an abundant phase space of the quaternary Heusler-like (Formula presented.) (2x + 3y = 3 for VEC = 9, 2x + 3y = 4 for VEC = 8, and 2x + 3y = 5 for VEC = 7) compounds. High-throughput screenings reveal many new FeCoYZ semiconductors, all of which possess strong disorder, weak magnetism, spin compensation, and wide composition-range tunability. The intertwined orders may either find functionalities surpassing the existing materials or give rise to new potential applications. |
