Transport Properties of Partially-Filled CeyCo4Sb12

Abstract

We have investigated the magnetic and transport properties of CeyCo4Sb12 filled skutterudites with the filling fraction y ≤ 0.1. These compounds are n-type materials that develop a magnetic moment upon the presence of trivalent cerium. Cerium has a strong influence on all transport properties and even in small amounts it drastically reduces the lattice thermal conductivity. The resulting figures of merit are comparable to the values established previously for the p-type filled skutterudites.
