The best p-type skutterudites so far are didymium filled, Fe/Co substituted, Sb-based
skutterudites. Substitution at the Sb-sites influences the electronic structure, deforms the Sb …

Several n-and p-type Half-Heusler (HH) thermoelectric materials (Ti 0.5 Zr 0.5 NiSn-based
and NbFeSb-based) have been processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) to improve their …

After our successful new and energy-saving production route to prepare bulk skutterudites
with high ZTs from commercial powders via cold pressing (CP) and high-pressure torsion …

Since the discovery of skutterudite (an arsenide mineral (Co, Fe, Ni) As 3) in 1845 in
Norway, valuable research on isotypic Sb-based skutterudites achieved high-quality …

Although thermoelectric materials with a figure of merit, ZT, higher than 1.2 have gained
considerable interest in electric power generation, little is hitherto known on the influence of …

For mass fabrication of thermoelectric generators a fast, cheap and simple method is
required to produce high ZT leg material. It is well known that severe plastic deformation …

As various branches of industry are interested in good thermoelectric generators, there is a
serious demand for an easy, fast, cheap and sustainable production route of excellent …

This paper documents that consolidation and subsequent severe plastic deformation of
commercial skutterudite powders via high pressure torsion (HPT) serves for an easy, fast …

The influence of shear strain on the microstructural, physical, and mechanical properties
was studied on large bulk samples (diameter: 30 mm, thickness: 1 or 8 mm), which were …

Thermoelectric leg materials with a high figure of merit, ZT, are the essential basis to build
thermoelectric generators, directly converting waste heat into electricity. Skutterudites and …
