Application of spark plasma sintering to the fabrication of binary and ternary skutterudites

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) synthesis of CoSb3 and LaFe4Sb12 from ball-milled elemental metal powders has been performed obtaining samples with high relative densities (~99%). Fracture behaviour, the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. From ultrasound and nano-indentation measure...
