In recent years, skutterudites have attracted huge attention and are reckoned to be one of the most promising groups of thermoelectric (TE) materials due to their “phonon-glass electron-crystal” (PGEC) property facilitated by an open structure in which foreign filler atoms can fill in. In this thesi...
