Phase diagram of the Ag2S–HgS–SnS2 system and single crystal preparation, crystal structure and properties of Ag2HgSnS4

Morphological and thermal properties of β-SnS2 sprayed thin films using Boubaker polynomials expansion

“…Moreover, using optical measurement based on the reflectance and transmittance allows us to reach the band gap energy which is of the order of 2.65 eV. This value is in concordance with several recent yielded values [27][28][29][30] of studies. In the same way, the thermal properties of this material have been studied through an original protocol which brought photothermal and numerical analyses together.…”

Effects of substrate temperature on sprayed ZnO thin films optical and morphological properties in terms of Amlouk–Boubaker opto-thermal expansivity ψAB

“…XRD and AFM analyses yielded relevant information about clusters shapes and density for several substrate temperatures. It was noticed that optical performance was enhanced by longer exposure to the heating source as evoked or discussed by several recent studies [30][31][32][33]. The extent of this enhancement seemed to be limited according to the Amlouk-Boubaker opto-thermal expansively ( AB ) investigations.…”

Interaction of argyrodite family compounds with the chalcogenides of II-b elements

“…We have investigated a series of isothermal sections of quasiternary systems Ag 2 X-A II X-B IV X 2 [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and established that, in the majority of them, one of the stable equlibria is the equlibrium between ternary compounds of type Ag 8 B IV X 6 and the chalcogenides of the II-b group elements. All investigated zinc-and cadmium-containing systems belong to here [21,26,27,29], as well as the Ag 2 S-HgS-SnS 2 system [28].…”

“…All investigated zinc-and cadmium-containing systems belong to here [21,26,27,29], as well as the Ag 2 S-HgS-SnS 2 system [28]. The rest of mercury-containing systems [22][23][24][25] exhibit a different picture of phase equlibria due to the existence of a number of quaternary intermediate phases of which Ag 6 HgB IV X 6 compounds are in equlibrium with silver chalcogenides.…”

“…Still, quasiternary systems with Cd or Zn are of interest in the same respect because the sections between argyrodites Ag 8 B IV X 6 and A II X components are quasi-binary. Four of the herediscussed phase diagrams are of the eutectic type (Ag 8 SnS 6 -ZnS [31], Ag 8 SnS 6 -CdS [29], Ag 8 SnSe 6 -CdSe [21], Ag 8 SnS 6 -HgS [28]), and only one is peritectic (Ag 8 GeS 6 -CdS [27]). In corresponding copper-containing systems, at least those that have already been investigated, even if a compound of the argyrodite family Cu 8 B IV X 6 forms, the Cu 8 B IV X 6 -A II X sections are not quasi-binary [32].…”
