Optical properties of MFe4P12 filled skutterudites
Infrared reflectance spectroscopy measurements were made on four members of the MFe4P12 family of filled skutterudites, with M5La, Th, Ce, and U. In progressing from M5La to U the system undergoes a metalinsulator transition. It is shown that, although the filling atom induces such dramatic changes in the transport properties of the system, it has only a small effect on lattice dynamics. We dis...
متن کاملBand Structure Engineering and Thermoelectric Properties of Charge-Compensated Filled Skutterudites
Thermoelectric properties of semiconductors are intimately related to their electronic band structure, which can be engineered via chemical doping. Dopant Ga in the cage-structured skutterudite Co4Sb12 substitutes Sb sites while occupying the void sites. Combining quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy and first-principles calculations, we show that Ga dual-site occupancy breaks...
متن کاملMicroscopic Aspects of Multipole Properties of Filled Skutterudites
We discuss low-temperature multipole states of Nd-based filled skutterudites by analyzing a multiorbital Anderson model with the use of a numerical renormalization group method. In order to determine the multipole state, we take a procedure to maximize the multipole susceptibility matrix. Then, it is found that the dominant multipole state is characterized by the mixture of 4u magnetic and 5u o...
متن کاملResonant Oscillations in Multiple-Filled Skutterudites
Partially filled skutterudites were investigated by ultrafast spectroscopy using a femtosecond laser system, which excites resonant oscillations due to the host–guest interactions. To investigate the effect of individual guest elements on phonon-mediated thermal transport, four skutterudite samples were studied: three samples partially filled with Ba, Yb, and La, respectively, and a fourth with...
متن کاملUltrafast carriers dynamics in filled-skutterudites
Carrier dynamics of filled-skutterudites, an important class of thermoelectric materials, is investigated using ultrafast optical spectroscopy. By tuning the wavelength of the probe laser, charge transfers at different electronic energy levels are interrogated. Analysis based on the KramersKronig relation explains the complex spectroscopy data, which is mainly due to band filling caused by phot...
