Abstract: In a ‘filled skutterudite’, rare-earth atoms are thought to rattle in the cages formed by the other atoms, disrupting lattice vibrations and so reducing thermal conductivity. That could make these compounds ideal candidates for thermoelectric applications. These local vibrations has now been demonstrated, but they are unexpectedly complicated.
