ABSTRACTThe crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of Type-I clathrate compounds in the Ba-Ge-Ga system (Ba8GaXGe46-X) have been investigated as a function of Ga content. While all ternary compounds containing more than 3 Ga exhibit a crystal structure of normal Type-I clathrates with the space group Pm 3 n, the binary compound possesses a composition Ba8Ge43, which is leaner in Ge than the stoichiometric composition, and has a crystal structure different from that of normal Type-I clathrates because of the ordering of Ge vacancies in 6c sites of the parent normal Type-I clathrate structure. The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of binary Ba8Ge43 is of semiconductor while that for all the ternary compounds is metallic. The value of Seebeck coefficient increases with the increase in the Ga content. The value of dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) increases with the increase in the Ga content, exhibiting a high value of 0.76 at 700°C for Ba8Ga16Ge30.

ABSTRACTThe crystal structures and thermoelectric properties of Ba-Ge type-I clathrate compounds (Ba8GaXGe46-X and Ba8Ga16-YInYGe30) have been investigated as a function of Ga and In contents. Ba8GaXGe46-X alloys have a crystal structure that contains an ordered arrangement of Ge vacancies, forming a superstructure based on the normal type-I structure until X reaches 3, whereas they have the normal type-I structure when X exceeds 3. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) increases with the increase in the Ga content, exhibiting the highest value of 0.49 for Ba8Ga16Ge30. The power factor for Ba8Ga10In6Ge30 is 1.5 times that for Ba8Ga16Ge30 so that the In containing alloy exhibits a ZT value as high as 1.03 at 700°C.

Cu Substitution

With an attempt to improve the thermoelectric properties of type I clathrates in the Ba-Ga-Si system, we introduce Cu into the framework of the crystal structure. Single crystals are prepared in Ga-flux and characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques and transport measurements for the structural and thermoelectric properties. Our composition analyses show that only a small amount of Cu is determined in the clathrates. The single crystal X-ray diffraction data refinements confirm that Ga atoms prefer the 6c and 24k sites and avoid the 16i sites in the crystal structure. The small amount of Cu affects the crystal structure by compressing the tetrakaidecahedral cage along the direction perpendicular to the six-atom-ring plane. This could be the reason for the high charge carrier concentration, and low electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient. We analyze the principal mechanism for our observation and conclude that the Cu substitution can adjust some subtle details of the structure, maintaining the Zintl rule in the type I clathrates.
