SKUTTERUDITES : A phonon-glass-electron crystal approach to advanced thermoelectric energy conversion applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to compare one potential thermoelectric material with another, based on a numerical expression that is commonly used to compare the performance or efficiency of a particular device made from a material.

Properties of single crystalline semiconducting CoSb3
TL;DR: In this article, the thermoelectric properties of the skutterudite compound CoSb3 were investigated on single crystals grown by the Bridgman gradient freeze technique and the results of the transport property measurements are discussed and are in agreement with some recent predictions based on band structure calculations.

Energy bands in TX2 compounds with pyrite, marcasite, and arsenopyrite structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the gross features of the energy bands can be rationalized for compounds crystallizing in the pyrite, marcasite and arsenopyrite structures, and the measured physical properties are shown to satisfy the requirements of the band schemes for these structures, but also the constraints of the periodic table in comparison with other transition-metal compounds.

Conceptual phase diagram and its application to the spontaneous magnetism of several pyrites
TL;DR: In this paper, a T - n l - b phase diagram is constructed, where n l gives the occupancy of the narrow σ∗ band determined by chemistry and b ∼ ϵλ σ is proportional to the width of the σ ∗ band in the itinerant-electron domain.
