Abstract

Starting to CeFe4Sb12 and trying to obtain low gap semiconductors with very low thermal conductivity, we have performed in this compound the substitution of Ni for Fe.This substitution induces a reject of cerium from the structure. In this paper we present synthesis and physical properties of CeyFe4-xNixSb12 in which a relationship is existing between x and y to retain the electronic account giving semiconducting character.
