Electronic Structure and Thermoelectric Prospects of Phosphide Skutterudites
The prospects for high thermoelectric performance in phosphide skutterudites are investigated based on first principles calculations. We find that stoichiometric CoP_3 differs from the corresponding arsenide and antimonide in that it is metallic. As such

Ballistic electron emission microscopy spectroscopy study of AlSb and InAs/AlSb superlattice barriers [PDF]
Due to its large band gap, AlSb is often used as a barrier in antimonide heterostructure devices. However, its transport characteristics are not totally clear. We have employed ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) to directly probe AlSb barriers
