Abstract

Clathrates of type I to type III are presented from the two points of views. The first one is intriguing electronic states appearing from the variation in phonons. The various phonons ranging from lattice phonons, intra-cluster phonons and atomic phonons are described in connection to the electronic states created via electron-phonon interactions. The other issue is the application to thermoelectric power materials on a basis of the concept of phonon-glass-electron-crystal (PGEC).
