Recent Developments of Skutterudite Materials
摘要: Skutterudite类型材料是近年来倍受关注的新型复杂结构热电材料。本文从三个方面分别回顾和展望Skutterudite材料近期的研究热点：1) 声子玻璃–电子晶体物理图景；2) Skutterudite类型材料在压强下结构以及热电性质变化；3) 不同填充情况对Skutterudite材料热电转化效率的影响。
Abstract: Skutterudite material is an important kind of thermoelectric material with complicated structure. This paper reviews and discusses the trend of recent studies of Skutterudite from three aspects: 1) “phonon glass-electron crystal” paradigm, 2) structural and thermoelectric properties of Skutterudite materials under pressure, 3) effects of filling factor on thermoelectric conversion efficiency of Skutterudite materials.
