Creep behavior and post-creep thermoelectric performance of the n-type Skutterudite alloy Yb0.3Co4Sb12

Upon uniaxial compressive loading at 500 °C (T/Tm = 0.67, where Tm is the absolute melting point), the n-type Skutterudite alloy Yb0.3Co4Sb12 deforms plastically by creep via a power-law, with a stress exponent ∼3 consistent with dislocation viscous glide. An activation energy of 171 kJ/mol is measu...
