Abstract
The synthesis and single crystal growth of clathrate-II Na(24)Si(136) is performed in one step applying the spark plasma treatment to the precursor Na(4)Si(4). The reported results demonstrate a new route to intermetallic compounds facilitated by the electric field and current. SPS is revealed to offer significant opportunities as a novel preparatory method for synthesis and crystal growth of solid state materials.
