| Research Abstract |
In this study, many kinds of clathrates were synthesized, and their thermoelectric and magnetic properties were investigated. For thermoelectric clathrates, their high values of the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit were obtained for p-Ba_8Ga_ySn_<46-x-y>Ge_x(ZT=1.2). The carrier transport phenomena were considered based on the results of Hall measurements of single- and poly-crystals of type-VIII Ba_8Ga_<16>Sn_<30>. For magnetic clathrates, type-IBa_8Fe_yGa_xGe_<46-x-y> and type-III Ba_6Fe_1Ga_xGe_<24-x> showed the ferromagnetic behavior, and their Curie temperature TC reached to room temperature, which was higher than the reported TC. The TC depended on the carrier concentration, and this carrier concentration dependence could be explained by the RKKY mechanism. We also prepared the ferromagnetic films of these clathrates.
