Article Synopsis
- The binary CoSb skutterudite has been well-studied, but its mixed-anion versions, particularly CoSnTe, are largely unexplored in terms of stability and thermoelectric properties.
- Researchers investigated the CoSb-CoSnTe pseudo-binary phase diagram and found no quaternary phases, leading them to focus on the ternary CoSnTe for mapping its phase boundaries, measuring transport properties, and performing calculations.
- The study revealed varying electronic properties in CoSnTe, primarily p-type behavior, with key defects influencing its doping behavior; optimizing hole carrier concentration is possible through extrinsic p-type doping in Sn-rich conditions.
