“Cationic clathrate of type-III Ge172-xPxTey (y\approx21,5, x\approx2y) : synthesis, crystal structure and thermoelectric properties”. Kirsanova MA, Mori T, Maruyama S, Abakumov AM, Van Tendeloo G, Olenev A, Shevelkov AV, Inorganic chemistry 52, 8272 (2013). http://doi.org/10.1021/ic401203r
Abstract: A first germanium-based cationic clathrate of type-III, Ge129.3P42.7Te21.53, was synthesized and structurally characterized (space group P42/mnm, a = 19.948(3) Å, c = 10.440(2) Å, Z = 1). In its crystal structure, germanium and phosphorus atoms form three types of polyhedral cages centered with Te atoms. The polyhedra share pentagonal and hexagonal faces to form a 3D framework. Despite the complexity of the crystal structure, the Ge129.3P42.7Te21.53 composition corresponds to the Zintl counting scheme with a good accuracy. Ge129.3P42.7Te21.53 demonstrates semiconducting/insulating behavior of electric resistivity, high positive Seebeck coefficient (500 μV K1 at 300 K), and low thermal conductivity (<0.92 W m1 K1) within the measured temperature range.
