Preparation, structure and properties of transition metal trichalcogenides

Electronic structure of ZrTe3

“…ZrTe 3 is the only metallic compound among the transition metal trichalcogenides of the ZrSe 3 structure type [1][2][3]. Its layered crystal structure ( Fig.…”

“…Zr atoms form chains inside the prisms. Te atoms noted as Te (2) and Te(3) situated on the prism edges build another chains along the a lattice vector. The first Brillouin zone for ZrTe 3 is shown in the Fig.…”

Electrodeposited polymer encapsulated nickel sulphide thin films: frequency switching material

“…Transition metal sulfides display appealing electronic [1], optical [2], and photoelectric properties along with important applications in cutting edge of science and technology [3]. Among this large family of transition metal sulphides, nickel sulfide (NiS) has its own significance in phase transition from low temperature antiferro-magnetic semiconductor to a high temperature paramagnetic metal.…”

“…Among various techniques for the production of nanostructured materials, electrodeposition is technologically feasible and an economically superior technique and the products show high strength and ductility [24,25]. It has been established previously that, if NiS is prepared at low pH (3)(4)(5), there is a tendency of phase transformation of NiS to polydimite (Ni 3 S 4 ) and or heazlewoodite (Ni 3 S 2 ) with time [26]. Herein, we report a controlled electrochemical synthesis of PVP encapsulated NiS nanostructures.…”

Zirconium Trisulfide as a Promising Cathode Material for Li Primary Thermal Batteries

“…This leads to this family of materials possessing anisotropic material properties. 9 These chains stack to form corrugated layers perpendicular to c-axis. The aim of this work is to synthesize and characterize ZrS 3 and to fabricate into cells in order to test at high temperature vs Li 13 Si 4 using a variety of discharge conditions.…”
