Effect of Guest Atom Composition on the Structural and Vibrational Properties of the Type II Clathrate-Based Materials A(x)Si(136), A(x)Ge(136) and A(x)Sn(136) (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs; 0 ≤ x ≤ 24)

Type II clathrates are interesting due to their potential thermoelectric applications. Powdered X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and density functional calculations for Na(x)Si(136) found a lattice contraction as x increases for 0 < x < 8 and an expansion as x increases for x > 8. This is expla...
