摘要: Type-I clathrates YbxBa8−xGa16Ge30 (x=0–1.3) filled by ytterbium and barium were synthesized melting reaction method combined with spark plasma sintering method. The structure thermoelectric properties of double-atoms-filled clathrate compounds are investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns Rietveld analysis reveal that the prepared this type-I clathrates. filling atoms exhibit atomic displacement parameters larger than framework atoms. All specimens show n-type conduction room temperature carrier concentration (Np) increases increasing Yb content. electrical conductivity at first then decreases When x=0.7, it reaches maximum. Seebeck coefficient gradually x. substituting for Ba leads to significant influence on lattice thermal compounds. wi...
