  Abstract: We investigated ThCo4Sb12, an actinium-filled skutterudite, from the ground up for structural, electronic, and thermoelectric properties. A generalized gradient approximation and modified BeckeJohnson potentials were used to calculate the exchange-correlation potential. The compound is shown to have metallic properties in the electronic structure calculations. Actinium series element is used as a void filler in this study. The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity can be calculated using Boltzmann's transport theory. According …
