The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of InzSe 3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The space group is P6~ with a = 7.11, c = 19.34/k, Z = 6, R = 0.066. It can be considered as a distorted wurtzite-like structure in which the In atoms are either tetrahedrally or pentagonally coordinated. A comparison with other M~ X 3 compounds is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
