Description

The crystal structure of the chalcogenide compounds CuCo2InTe4 and CuNi2InTe4 , two new members of the I-II2-III-VI4 family, were characterized by Rietveld refinement using X-ray powder diffraction data. Both materials crystallize in the tetragonal space group I4-bar 2m (No. 121), Z = 2, with a stannite-type structure, with the binaries CoTe and NiTe as secondary phases. (author)
