Structural and Thermoelectric Properties of Cu Substituted Type I Clathrates Ba8CuxSi~32−xGa~14

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 a...
