In the search for cheaper representatives of thermoelectric clathrates, we have investigated type-I clathrates Ba${}_{8}$Cu${}_{x}$Si${}_{46\ensuremath{-}x}$ ($3.6\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}7$, $x$ $=$ nominal Cu content) in a combined experimental and theoretical study.

Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity $\ensuremath{\rho}(T)$ Seebeck coefficient $S(T)$...
We studied anisotropic magnetoresistivity (AMR) and planar Hall effect of granular Ni-rich NiFe–SiO2 Fe–SiO2 films for various metallic volume fraction. Planar resistivity was found to be the same as (MR) difference between longitudinal transverse geometry. As fraction decreases, we that MR evolves from AMR domination in conduction region, through an intermediate region with mixed negative behavior, isotropic tunneling region. Plausible explanations this complicated evolution are discussed.
