Cu2Mn1−Co SnS4: Novel kësterite type solid solutions

Crystal structure and Raman scattering characterization of Cu2Fe1-xCoxSnS4 chalcogenide compounds

“…Figure 3 shows a representative refined pattern. The final structural parameters are summarized in Table 4 [4].The paramagnetic regime was analyzed well above the magnetic transition temperature and under a high applied field (10 kOe). The inset of Figure 4 presents the inverse susceptibility, 1/χ, fitted by a classical Curie-Weiss relation χ = C/(T-ϴ), in M A N U S C R I P T…”

“…We have previously reported on the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Cu 2 Mn 1-x Co x SnS 4 with kesterite structures, whereas both Cu 2 MnSnS 4 (CMTS) and Cu 2 CoSnS 4 (CCTS) end-members crystallize in a stannite-type structure [4]. Additionally, we have reported on the synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties of Cu 2 Mn x Fe 1-x SnS 4 solid solutions [5].…”

“…The development of more efficient and low-cost solar cells is one of the main objectives in the research of new materials. The quaternary semiconductor copper-zinc-tin-sulfur Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS), copper-iron-tin-sulfur Cu 2 FeSnS 4 (CFTS) and their corresponding solid solutions have become the focus of interest due to their application as new absorbent materials for solar cells and their interesting properties, namely high absorption coefficients ( > 10 -4 ), optimum band gaps and high power energy conversion rates of 12.6% [1,4].…”

EFFECT OF THE SELENIUM CONTENT IN THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE KESTERITE Cu2ZnSnS4-xSe x PHASES

“…We have previously reported on the synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties of; Cu 2 Mn 1-X Co X SnS 4 with kesterite structure, Cu 2 Mn X Fe 1-X SnS 4 and Cu 2 Fe 1-X Co X SnS 4 solid solutions [23][24][25]. The aim of this work is to study the effect on the physics properties of the Selenium content in the phase CZTS.…”

ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOR OF A Cu2Fe0.4Co0.6SnS4 CERAMIC

“…Publications describing electroceramics based on chalcogenides are rare because of the oxidation of these compounds. Previously, our group studied new solid solutions from different families of quaternary sulfide stannites, such as Cu 2 Mn 1-x Co x SnS 4 [14], Cu 2 Mn x Fe 1-x SnS 4 and Cu 2 Fe 1-x Co x SnS 4 , and this last family is focus of the current study.…”
