제목 Electronic Transport Properties of Fe-doped CoSb3 Prepared by Encapsulated Induction Melting
초록 Fe-doped CoSb3 skutterudites (Co1-xFexSb3) [1,2] were prepared by encapsulated induction melting, and their thermoelectric and electronic transport properties were investigated. Single phase δ-CoSb3 was successfully obtained by the subsequent heat treatment at 773K for 24 hours in vacuum. However, δ-CoSb3 was decomposed to FeSb2 and Sb when x≥0.3, which means that the solubility limit of Fe to Co is x<0.3. The positive signs of Seebeck coefficients for all Fe-doped specimens revealed that Fe atoms acted as p-type dopants by substituting Co atoms. Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity decreased with increasing the Fe doping level. ZT was considerably enhanced by the Fe doping, and optimum composition in this work was found as Co0.7Fe0.3Sb3 for the Fe-doped CoSb3 prepared by encapsulated induction melting. This was closely related with solubility limit of Fe to Co.
