We present the structural, optical and thermoelectric properties of unfilled and filled CoSb 3. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is used to investigate the optoelectronic properties and for thermoelectric properti...
