Abstract: The results of calculation of the electronic structure of Si-based Pt-substituted clathrates are reported. Calculation is carried out by the linearized-augmented-plane-wave method. The effect of the number of substitutions and their crystallographic position in the unit cell on the electron-energy spectrum and the electronic properties of Pt-substituted clathrates is analyzed.

Keywords: Valence Band, Fermi Level, Clathrate, Valence Configuration, Silicon Clathrate.
