Filled skutterudite compounds with a chemical formula AT4X12 (A= rare earth, actinide,
alkaline, or alkaline earth elements; T= Co, Ni, Rh, etc.; X= pnictogen) have been intensively …

The magnetic susceptibility, field-dependent heat capacity, and electrical transport
properties (resistivity and Hall effect) are investigated for filled skutterudites M Fe 4 Sb 12 …

We report first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic, elastic, and vibrational
properties of the semiconducting orthorhombic ZnSb compound. We study also the intrinsic …

Complex density functional theory (DFT) calculations of band energy structure and density of
states for two principal representatives of the filled skutterudites LaFe4Sb12 and …

This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the intrinsic properties of RNi4P12
(where R= Sm, Eu) filled skutterudite, employing the full-potential linearized augmented …

While the thermal conductivity of the filled skutterudites has been of great interest it had not
been calculated within a microscopic theory. Here a central force, Guggenheim-McGlashen …

The electronic structure of the skutterudites Co Sb 3, Co P 3, La Fe 4 Sb 12, and Ce Fe 4 Sb
12 has been investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The binding energies in the …

We have performed accurate ab initio total energy calculations using the full-potential linear
augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method with the local density approximation for …

Nanostructuring is one of the effective approaches to lower the thermal conductivity of
thermoelectric materials for improving its figure of merit. The nano-sized uniform skutterudite …

We present measurements of the magnetization M, ac susceptibility χ′, electrical resistivity
ρ, and specific heat C in single crystals of metallic YFe 2 Al 10. The magnetic susceptibility …
