Preparation and Crystal Growth of Na24Si136

The synthesis and single crystal growth of clathrate-II Na24Si136 is performed in one step applying the spark plasma treatment to the precursor Na4Si4. The reported results demonstrate a new route to intermetallic compounds facilitated by the electric field and current. SPS is revealed to offer sign...

Description
Summary:The synthesis and single crystal growth of clathrate-II Na24Si136 is performed in one step applying the spark plasma treatment to the precursor Na4Si4. The reported results demonstrate a new route to intermetallic compounds facilitated by the electric field and current. SPS is revealed to offer significant opportunities as a novel preparatory method for synthesis and crystal growth of solid state materials.
