Description

This paper investigates the semiconductor sulfide phases Zn3In2S6, Zn3Ga2S6, and Zn3 GaInS6, produced by chemical transport reactions in a sealed space. A typical derivatogram is shown. Up to 873 K no weight changes appear in the TG curve. As indium atoms are replaced by gallium atoms the kinetic oxidation parameters of the sulfide phases change regularly, and they correlate with the calculated heat of atomization, which characterizes bond strength. The dependence of the temperature of the start of oxidation on composition shows that zinc thiogallate is the most stable when heated in air
