<p>Interstitial voids of the cubic CoSb<SUB>3</SUB> type skutterudite structure can be filled with sodium and/or potassium atoms. Such filled skutterudites have the general formulas, K<SUB>y</SUB>Co<SUB>4</SUB>Sb<SUB>12</SUB> and Na<SUB>y</SUB>CO<SUB>4</SUB>Sb<SUB>12</SUB>, where y indicates the filling fraction of potassium and sodium, respectively, in the CoSb<SUB>3</SUB> cubic crystal structure, and has a value greater than zero and less than one. Also sodium- filled and/or potassium-filled skutterudites of the general formula, (K, Na)<SUB>y</SUB> T<SUB>4</SUB> Pn<SUB>12</SUB> are made, where T denotes Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, or Ir; and "Pn" denotes one of the pnicogen elements P, As, or Sb. Again, y has values less than one.</p> |
