In this study, we prepared Si clathrate films (Na8Si46and NaxSi136) using a single-crystalline Si substrate. Highly oriented film growth of Zintl-phase sodium silicide, which is a precursor of Si clathrate, was achieved by exposing Na vapour to Si substrates under an Ar atmosphere. Subsequent heat treatment of the NaSi film at 400 °C (3 h) under vacuum (<10−2Pa) resulted in a film of Si clathrates having a thickness of several micrometres. Furthermore, this technique enabled the selective growth of Na8Si46and NaxSi136using the appropriate crystalline orientation of Si substrates.
