Al substitution for Ga in the ternary Si clathrate K8Ga8Si38 was investigated. The Si clathrates K8-δGaxAlySi46-x-y (x + y ≈ 8; 0 ≤ y < 8) were synthesized. Al substitution significantly changed the transport properties of K8Ga8Si38. Al substitution increased the thermoelectric figure of merit by a factor of six.
