Abstract

First-principles calculations are used to investigate the band structure and the transport-related properties of unfilled and filled 4d skutterudite antimonides. The calculations show that, while RhSb₃ and p-type La(Rh,Ru)₄Sb₁₂ are unfavorable for thermoelectric application, n-type La(Rh,Ru)₄Sb₁₂ is very likely a high figure-of-merit thermoelectric material in the important temperature range 150-300 K.
