Since their discovery in 1965, various compositions of clathrate phases of silicon have been investigated and have revealed a direct correlation between the doping element and their properties. The recent development of a new synthesis technique using high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions allows the synthesis of peculiar clathrate compositions which can show fascinating properties, such as Ba8Si46 which is a sp3 silicon-based structure with superconducting characteristics. This work reports the synthesis of the first binary silicon clathrate doped with an electronegative element and prepared using HPHT: I8Si46 −xIx. Some chemical and structural results are also presented.< Leer menos
