Electronic, vibrational, and transport properties of pnictogen-substituted ternary skutterudites

First principles calculations are used to investigate electronic band structure and vibrational spectra of pnictogen-substituted ternary skutterudites. We compare the results with the prototypical binary composition CoSb3 to identify the effects of substitutions on the Sb site, and evaluate the pote...
