Growth, transport properties and ARPES measurements of topological Co$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$As$_{3}$ and Co$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$Sb$_{3}$ single crystals

POSTER

Abstract

Skutterudite materials such as TX$_{3}$ (T= Co, Rh, X=As, Sb, P) have been previously studied for their promising thermoelectric properties. Recently they have been proposed as materials with non-trivial topology. In this poster, we report the growth of Co$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$As$_{3}$ and Co$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$Sb$_{3}$ using self-flux method. The thermoelectric, transport properties and ARPES measurements of them will be presented.
