Simultaneous Rietveld refinement of three phases in the Ag-In-S semiconducting system from X-ray powder diffraction

Annealing effects on the structural and optical properties of AgIn5S8 thin films

“…The very slight decrease in the value of the lattice constant as annealing temperature is raised may be attributed to the re-orientation of the crystallites in the preferable direction. The values still strongly agree with that reported for thin film and single crystals as well [6][7][8]11,12].…”

The Ag2S–In2S3–Si(Ge)S2 systems and crystal structure of quaternary sulfides Ag2In2Si(Ge)S6

“…The crystallographic parameters and the melting points of the initial compounds and of the intermediate compounds of the quasi-binary systems are summarized in Table 1 [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. The Ag 2 S-SiS 2 and Ag 2 S-GeS 2 systems were studied repeatedly, therefore the literature data on the crystal structure of the ternary compounds and phase diagrams of these systems are quite dissimilar.…”

Indium induced band gap tailoring in AgGa1−xInxS2 chalcopyrite structure for visible light photocatalysis

“…Both AgGaS 2 and AgInS 2 are the I-III-VI family with the chalcopyrite structure. 20,24 A difference between the compounds is the larger lattice constants for AgInS 2 by 0.1188 and 0.8971 A in the a and c axes, respectively. Therefore, we compared the Ga K-edge XANES of AgGaS 2 in its own lattice with that of AgGaS 2 in the AgInS 2 lattice.…”
