This book informs the reader about a fascinating class of materials
referred to as skutterudites, the atomic lattice of which has large
structural voids that can be filled by a variety of foreign
species, spanning from alkali to alkaline to rare earth ions. The
fillers, in their unique way, drastically modify the physical
properties of the parent structure, giving rise to outstanding
thermoelectric properties. This exciting material is of growing
importance and is finding applications in a variety of different
fields. This book will be of interest to researchers working in
materials science, physics, and chemistry in addition to graduate
students in these subjects. Features: * Gives a comprehensive
account of all fundamental physical properties of skutterudites *
Each major topic is accompanied by introductory sections and a
further detailed theoretical treatment is provided in Appendices *
Supported by many figures and a vast number of relevant references
