摘要:

I型笼形化合物在寻找高效热电材料方面引起了极大的兴趣。这些化合物构成了由纳米级的四面体(14个面体)和十二面体(12个面体)组成的网状笼,其中周期表中的第1族或第2族元素被囚禁为所谓的摇铃客体原子。值得注意的是,虽然这些化合物具有晶体的双晶结构,但它们在整个温度范围内表现出玻璃状的声子热导率,这取决于四面体中的晶格客体原子的状态。此外,这些化合物显示出不寻常的玻璃状比热和太赫兹频率声子动力学,提供了一个显着的宽峰几乎相同的拓扑无序的非晶材料或结构玻璃,所谓的玻色子峰。在显示这些玻璃状特征的化合物中实现了有效的热电效应。近十年来,已经发表了许多关于I型笼形化合物的实验工作。这些是衍射实验,热和光谱实验,除了那些基于热和电子传输。这些构成了本文基于这十年来的进展的原材料。本文的主题不仅从物理学的角度,而且从制作高效热电材料的实际问题的角度涉及有趣的现象。本文综述了I型笼形化合物的广泛的实验研究,以及在这些材料中观察到的奇特的热和动力学性质的理论解释的审查。

英文摘要:

Type-I clathrate compounds have attracted a great deal of interest in connection with the search for efficient thermoelectric materials. These compounds constitute networked cages consisting of nano-scale tetrakaidecahedrons (14 hedrons) and dodecahedrons (12 hedrons), in which the group 1 or 2 elements in the periodic table are encaged as the so-called rattling guest atom. It is remarkable that, though these compounds have crystalline cubic-structure, they exhibit glass-like phonon thermal conductivity over the whole temperature range depending on the states of rattling guest atoms in the tetrakaidecahedron. In addition, these compounds show unusual glass-like specific heats and THz-frequency phonon dynamics, providing a remarkable broad peak almost identical to those observed in topologically disordered amorphous materials or structural glasses, the so-called Boson peak. An efficient thermoelectric effect is realized in compounds showing these glass-like characteristics. This decade, a number of experimental works dealing with type-I clathrate compounds have been published. These are diffraction experiments, thermal and spectroscopic experiments in addition to those based on heat and electronic transport. These form the raw materials for this article based on advances this decade. The subject of this article involves interesting phenomena from the viewpoint of not only physics but also from the view point of the practical problem of elaborating efficient thermoelectric materials. This review presents a survey of a wide range of experimental investigations of type-I clathrate compounds, together with a review of theoretical interpretations of the peculiar thermal and dynamic properties observed in these materials.
