Abstract:

In the paper by K. Rajput and S. Vitta published in the present journal the synthesis and the thermoelectric properties of the dysprosium containing clathrate Dy8Al16Si30 were reported. We prepared two samples following exactly to the technique described in the paper. Our XRD and SEM/EDX investigations do not confirm the presence of any amount of a Dy-containing clathrate phase in the sample.
