The clathrate I BaGe□ [space group $$ Ia\bar{3}d $$, no. 230, a = 21.307(1) Å] has been synthesized as a single phase and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction and metallographic analysis. Electrical and thermal transport measurements have been performed in the temperature range of 5 K to 673 K. BaGe□ displays the electrical resistivity of a poor metal at low temperatures, with semiconducting-like behavior appearing above 300 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
