摘要
The phonon density of states of different silicon clathrate phases is measured by inelastic neutron scattering. M-x @ Si-34 and M-x @ Si-46 clathrates with different alkaline (M = Na, K) and composition x are investigated. A width-narrowing effect is observed on the phonon spectra with respect to the diamond silicon structure. The effect of the alkali atom-silicon atom coupling is seen demonstrating the strong interaction between the alkali-atom and the host silicon cage. Such specific properties of clathrate lattices are interpreted in term of local icosahedral symmetry. [S0163-1829(99)02415-7].
