The objective of this thesis is to study the synthesis and thermodynamics of intermetallic clathrates of the Na-Si system, which are the important materials for thermoelectric applications and are the promising precursors for new forms of Si for the photovoltaic and photonic applications. In this work the formation of the Na-Si clathrates have been studied in situ and ex situ at high pressure and high temperature. A number of new forms of silicon have been observed while heating the clathrates under vacuum. Under pressures below 3 GPa the clathrates does not form by the interaction of elements. Instead, the silicide Na4Si4 forms and remains stable up to melting. Above 3 GPa, Na4Si4 formed in the beginning of the heating, react with the exce...
