abstract = {CoSb3 belongs to the skutterudite family of compounds and
serves as a crucial platform for the exploration of
thermoelectric materials. Under compression it undergoes a
‘self-insertion’ isostructural transition resulting in a
peculiar redistribution of large Sb atoms between different
crystallographic sites. We conducted a comprehensive
investigation of CoSb3 structural phase stability up to 70
GPa using single crystal material in the regimes of
conventional single crystal X-ray diffraction and the X-ray
scattering focused on measuring Bragg peak at high
resolution (including elements of Bragg Coherent Diffraction
Imaging). We explore the compression behavior of CoSb3 in
three different pressure transmitting media (PTM) and
address several important topics: influence of various PTMs
and nonhydrostatic stresses on the strongly correlated
system of CoSb3, including the ‘self-insertion’
crossover, phase stability of CoSb3, the compound’s
polymorphism, its crystal chemistry, and its variation under
pressure. Among other important observations, we track
population of Sb atom within CoSb3 dodecahedral sites on
compression, during the process of ‘self-insertion’, and
on decompression. We detect that ‘self-insertion’ may
not only reduce the compressibility, but also make it
negative. Finally, but not the least, we report that the
‘self-insertion’ crossover is an important step
preceding a previously unknown phase transformation from a
cubic Im3 ̅ CoSb3 into a trigonal R3 ̅ occurring above 40
GPa, and discuss the distinctive behavior of CoSb3 phases
and their structural frameworks.},
