In half-Heulser thermoelectric TiCoSb, defects yield elusive intrinsic properties and a wide range of properties reported in the literature[1-3]. To tackle these inconsistencies, single crystals of TiCoSb have been grown and their crystallographic and electronic properties characterized. The crystals display an almost perfect stoichiometry, while XRD display the half-Heusler F43m structure only. Electrical resistivity shows a metallic behaviour due to the intrinsic p-type nature of the crystals, while the temperature evolution of the conductivity indicates the presence of point defects. Nevertheless, no in-gaps states in the valence band top are detected by HAXPES, suggesting the absence of interstitial defects. ARPES displays a diffusive surface state above the VBM and the band convergence at the L and Γ band maxima points, which is compared to previous theoretical calculations and gives a further hint on the excellent electronic performance of this family of materials.
