摘要
Two samples of the gold-substituted silicon clathrate, Ba8AuxSi46-x, have been synthesized from the elements at high temperature. one without subsequent treatment (so-called AG for as-grown) and the other after annealing in a silica tube (so-called A for annealed). A structure analysis on single crystal of both samples shows that the x Au content for the AG and A sample is 5.4 and 5.9, respectively. Both samples have been characterized by Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity measurements. as well as by Si-29 MAS NMR spectroscopy. The AG sample is an n-type semi conductor close to a metal, whereas the A one exhibits a p-type metallic behaviour. The NMR spectra are consistent with a high contribution to the conductivity of the Si(3s) orbitals at the Fermi level.
