Abstract
We study the behavior under pressure (up to 35 GPa) of intercalated silicon clathrates, combining x-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio calculations. We show that endohedral doping does not introduce a strong modification of the compressibility of the empty clathrate network and that in particular cases can raise it to values equivalent to the one of the silicon diamond phase. Intercalation can also prevent the collapse of the cage structure up to pressures at least 3 times higher than in the empty clathrate. Further we find that the stability of all studied silicon clathrate networks as well as stressed silicon diamond is limited to average Si-Si interatomic distances higher than 2.30 Å.
