- Abstract
- By doping CoSb3 with Sn, Ba, and La, several structural outcomes are possible. The effect these
different structures have on the electronic transport properties of the resulting materials is evaluated
by means of an ab initio electronic structure approach and by using the semiclassical Boltzmann
theory to derive the electronic transport properties from the band structure. It is shown that the
calculated Seebeck coefficient is a very useful indicator of both the actual content of the dopant
element and of where it mainly locates into the CoSb3 structure. The use of such an indicator, along
with geometrical considerations, demonstrates that the Sn atom occupies both the interstitial and the
pnicogen ring positions with relative occupancies and ensuing thermoelectric properties, which
heavily depend on the synthesis' conditions. The same indicator also suggests that the La atom,
which occupies only interstitial positions, has a far lower maximal solubility in CoSb3 than that
claimed experimentally. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1802631# (literal)
