Effect of Na–Sn Flux on the Growth of Type I Na<sub>8</sub>Si<sub>46</sub> Clathrate Crystals

In the crystal growth of Na–Si clathrate (type I, Na<sub>8</sub>Si<sub>46</sub>) during Na evaporation from a Na–Si–Sn solution at 723 K, the composition of a Na–Sn flux in the starting material strongly influences the morphology and size of the formed clathrate crystals. In...
