We experimentally find that the substitution of Si for Al in Heusler-typeepilayers contributes to the significant reduction in the thermal conductivity, in whichis one of the next-generation thermoelectric materials without using toxic elements. Because of the low-temperature growth of the epilayers, the Si substitution induces the decrease in the degree ofordering, giving rise to the formation of V-Si antisite defects in the epilayers. Forepilayers, we can obtain a low thermal conductivity of, one-third less than Si-substitutedbulk samples [Lue , Phys. Rev. B 75, 064204 (2007)PRBMDO1098-012110.1103/PhysRevB.75.064204]. We discuss that a possible origin of the low thermal conductivity is related to the low lattice thermal conductivity due to the presence of the V-Si antisite defects.
