We study both theoretically and experimentally the structure of the doped silicon clathrate II Na x Si 3 4 . We find that contrary to published works, the sodium atoms do not retain the T d symmetry inside the Si 2 8 cages and move about I A away from the center of the cage. This displacement, in conjunction with that of a sodium atom in an adjacent Si 2 8 cage, leads to a "dimerization" of sodium atoms. As a consequence, Rietveld refinements of x-ray diffraction spectra and transport, vibrational, and electronic properties must be revisited.
