Optimizing thermoelectric properties of filled MPt${}_4$Ge${}_{12-x}$Sb${}_x$ skutterudites by band engineering

M. X. Chen, R. Podloucky, S. Humer +2

On the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations thermoelectric properties are derived for Sb-doped skutterudites MPt${}_4$Ge${}_{12-x}$Sb${}_x$ with M=Ba,La,Th. It is predic…
