Skutterudite CoSb 3 의 합성 및 열전특성
Synthesis and Thermoelectric Properties of Skutterudite CoSb 3
E-mail:
Binary skutterudite [Math Processing Error] compounds were prepared by the arc melting and hot pressing processes and their thermoelectric properties were investigated in the range from 300 to 600 K. Annealing effect was correlated to phase transformation and homogenization. Thermoelectric properties of the arc-melted and hot-pressed [Math Processing Error] were discussed and compared. Undoped intrinsic [Math Processing Error] prepared by the arc melting showed p-type conduction, while it showed metallic behavior with increasing measuring temperature. However, hot pressed specimens showed n-type conduction, possibly due to Sb evaporation. Thermoelectric properties were remarkably improved by annealing In vacuum and they were closely related to phase transformation.
