研究目的
Investigating the crystal structure of the quaternary chalcogenide compounds CuCo2InTe4 and CuNi2InTe4, two new members of the I-II2-III-VI4 family.
研究成果
The crystal structure of the quaternary compounds CuCo2InTe4 and CuNi2InTe4 was determined using X-ray powder diffraction. Both materials crystallize in the tetragonal space group I 42m with a stannite-type structure.
研究不足
The study is limited to the structural characterization of the compounds and does not explore their physical properties or potential applications in detail.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The crystal structure of CuCo2InTe4 and CuNi2InTe4 was characterized by Rietveld refinement using X-ray powder diffraction data.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Nominally CuCo2InTe4 and CuNi2InTe4 samples were synthesized using the melt-anneal method. Stoichiometric quantities of Cu, Co, Ni, In, Te elements with purity of at least
3:99% were used. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A PANalytical X’Pert Pro MPD powder X-ray diffractometer operating in Bragg-Brentano geometry using CuKα radiation with an average wavelength of
4:5418 ? was employed. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fusion process was carried out inside a furnace heated up to 1500 K at a rate of 20 K/h, with a stop of 48 h at
5:5 K. The ampoule was shaken using a mechanical system during the entire heating process. Data Analysis Methods:
7 The Rietveld refinement of the whole diffraction patterns was carried out using the Fullprof program.
