Growth of CdSiP2 single crystals by self-seeding vertical Bridgman method

Flux growth and characterization of an FeSi4P4 single crystal

“…19 The length of the Si-P bond in CdSiP 2 is 2.2469(7)Å. 1 Our results show that the lengths of Si-P bonds in FSP range from 2.2303(62) to 2.3233(72)Å, which is comparable with those in orthorhombic SiP 2 and CdSiP 2 . The [FeSi 3 P 3 ] octahedrons and overlapped tetrahedrons are linked by shared corners, as shown in Fig.…”

“…Due to the abundant structural chemistry and excellent physical properties of ternary silicon phosphides containing transition metals, extensive research has been carried out on their nonlinear optical and thermoelectric properties. [1][2][3][4] A number of representative ternary silicon phosphides have been reported such as NiSi 2 P 3 (Imm2), 5 Si 3 AlP (Cc), 6 RhSi 3 P 3 and IrSi 3 P 3 (C2), 7 PtSi 2 P 2 (P2 1 ), 8 LnSi 2 P 6 (Cmc2 1 , Ln ¼ La, Ce, and Pr), 9 and Ag 2 SiP 2 (I 42d). 10 Among these, the chalcopyrite structure II-IV-V 2 (II-Mg, Zn, Cd; IV-Si, Ge; and V-P, As) crystals, such as CdSiP 2 and ZnGeP 2 , have great important applications in mid-infrared nonlinear optics owing to their outstanding nonlinear optical properties.…”

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Calcium Silicon Phosphides Ca2Si2P4, Ca3Si8P14 and Ca3Si2P4

“…The first crystal is Ca 2 Si 2 P 4 , which shows red color ( Figure S1), rod-like and easily cracked into pieces. In order to better represent its structural features (see checkCIF reports in Supporting Information), the formula was written as Ca 2 Figure 2). Both Ca1 and Ca2 are coordinated with seven P atoms.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Some representative ternary silicon phosphides were reported, such as CoSi 3 P 3 (P2 1 ), [5] NiSi 2 P 3 (Imm2), [6] LnSi 2 P 6 (Cmc2 1 , Ln = La, Ce, Pr), [7] KSi 2 P 3 (C2/c) [8] and Ag 2 SiP 2 (I42d). [9] The crystal structure difference exhibits the diversity of ternary silicon phosphides and the interesting structures of Si-P frameworks.…”
