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.
通过对前驱体Na(4)Si(4)进行放电等离子体处理，一步合成并生长出包合物-II Na(24)Si(136)单晶。报道结果展示了一种由电场和电流辅助的金属间化合物合成新途径。结果表明，放电等离子体烧结作为一种用于固态材料合成和晶体生长的新型制备方法具有显著优势。
