Abstract
We have explained the electrical transport experiments of the solid solution Cel-zLazFe4Sb12 with crystal electric field and Kondo effect. We also have shown that the transport and magnetic properties of the solid solutions RyFe4-xNixSb12 (R = and La) are strongly depending to the charge carrier concentration. At room temperature, the thermopower is essentially due to the transition metal density of states in both the Cc and the La containing compounds. Finally, we have investigated the thermoelectric properties of the solid solution CeyFe4-xNixSb12 with y = 4/3-2×/3 for which the best thermoelectric properties were found for y ≥ 0.6 and also for CeFe4Sb12, at room temperature.
