Unraveling the effect of isotropic strain on the transport properties of half-Heusler alloy LiScGe

•Energy band gap increases in case of isotropic tensile strain whereas it decreases in case of compressive strain.•Lattice thermal conductivity increases when tensile strain is applied.•Lattice thermal conductivity decreases in case of isotropic compressive strain.•increase in tensile strain leads t...
