The electronic states of Heusler(L21)-type off-stoichiometric Fe$$_{2-x}$$V$$_{1+x}$$Al have been investigated by soft X-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) in order to clarify the origin of their large thermoelectric powers, which cannot be explained in terms of the rigid band model. In off-normal and normal ARPES, Fe$$_{2.05}$$V$$_{0.95}$$Al shows a weakly dispersive bulk band around the binding energy of 0.3 eV in the $$Gamma$$-X direction and an almost dispersion-less one around 0.3 eV in a gap of dispersive bulk bands in the $$Gamma$$-L direction, which is attributed to the anti-site Fe defect. At the $$Gamma$$ point, the bulk band does not appear to cross the Fermi level $$E_{rm F}$$, consistent with the rigid band model for the excess Fe content bringing about the increase in the valence electrons, but no band crossing $$E_{rm F}$$ down is found at the X point. The anti-site Fe defect states near $$E_{rm F}$$ might push up the band at the X point and cause the p-type thermoelectric properties, unexpected with the rigid band picture. The change in the electronic structures and thermoelectric properties are discussed on the off-stoichiometry and substitution of the forth element.
