The development of a high efficiency thermoelectric (TE) stack, which is a united system of
thermoelectric modules and a heat exchanger, has been made to advance the applications …

Iron in the binary skutterudite compound CoSb 3 has a dramatic effect on transport and
magnetic properties comparable to that of “rattling” guest atoms in filled skutterudite …

Over the past decade, the open frame (“cagey”) structure of CoS b 3 skutterudite has invited
intensive filling studies with various rare-earth elements for delivering state-of-the-art …

Because of the stability and toxic issue of CH3NH3PbI3, great efforts have been made to
search emerging materials beyond perovskite. Most of the explorations are based on ns2 …

Using a first-principles approach based on density-functional theory, the electronic, dielectric
and dynamical properties of the skutterudites CoSb 3 and TlFeCo 3 Sb 12 are studied. In …

Fe doped skutterudite CoSb3 with a nominal composition of FexCo4− xSb12 (0≤ x≤ 2.5),
were synthesized by mechanical alloying of elemental powders, and consolidated by …

The electronic properties of complex binary skutterudites, MX 3 (M= Co, Rh, Ir; X= P, As, Sb)
are explored, using various density functional theory (DFT) based theoretical approaches …

Te-doped CoSb 3 skutterudites were successfully synthesized with high pressure synthesis
method followed by spark plasma sintering. The introducing of Te atoms into the lattice sites …

This book informs the reader about a fascinating class of materials referred to as
skutterudites, the atomic lattice of which has large structural voids that can be filled by a …

This paper reports an overview of the current state in our research program started in 1995
in collaboration with industries. This program has been aimed at making sure of the …
