Compounds of the chalcopyrite group are related to well-known semiconductors such as Ge and the zinc blende compounds. This relationship is discussed briefly and some new data are presented regarding the preparation and properties of five chalcopyrite compounds AgInS2, AgInSe~, CuInSe2, AgInTe~, and CuInTe2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
