Ba8Ga10Si36
semiconductor· Ba8Ga10Si36
Ba8Ga10Si36 is a clathrate semiconductor compound featuring a cage-like crystal structure where barium atoms are enclosed within a framework of gallium and silicon atoms. This material is primarily investigated in thermoelectric research for solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion, where its rattling-cage structure provides unusually low thermal conductivity while maintaining electrical conductivity. Ba8Ga10Si36 represents a promising candidate in the clathrate family for waste-heat recovery and power generation applications where conventional thermoelectrics face limitations.
