AI Article Synopsis

  • - BaGe(5) is a new intermetallic clathrate formed when clathrate-I Ba(8)Ge(43)(3) decomposes at low temperatures.
  • - Its crystal structure features unique layers that are linked together by covalent bonds.
  • - BaGe(5) is classified as a semiconducting Zintl phase, which suggests it has potential applications in electronics.

Article Abstract

BaGe(5) constitutes a new type of intermetallic clathrate obtained by decomposition of clathrate-I Ba(8)Ge(43)(3) at low temperatures. The crystal structure consists of characteristic layers interconnected by covalent bonds. BaGe(5) is a semiconducting Zintl phase.
