<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>The crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of Type-I clathrate compounds in the Ba-Ge-Ga system (Ba<jats:sub>8</jats:sub>Ga<jats:sub>X</jats:sub>Ge<jats:sub>46-X</jats:sub>) have been investigated as a function of Ga content. While all ternary compounds containing more than 3 Ga exhibit a crystal structure of normal Type-I clathrates with the space group Pm 3 n, the binary compound possesses a composition Ba<jats:sub>8</jats:sub>Ge<jats:sub>43</jats:sub>, which is leaner in Ge than the stoichiometric composition, and has a crystal structure different from that of normal Type-I clathrates because of the ordering of Ge vacancies in 6c sites of the parent normal Type-I clathrate structure. The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of binary Ba<jats:sub>8</jats:sub>Ge<jats:sub>43</jats:sub> is of semiconductor while that for all the ternary compounds is metallic. The value of Seebeck coefficient increases with the increase in the Ga content. The value of dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) increases with the increase in the Ga content, exhibiting a high value of 0.76 at 700°C for Ba<jats:sub>8</jats:sub>Ga<jats:sub>16</jats:sub>Ge<jats:sub>30</jats:sub>.</jats:p>
