The density of the synthesized Cu 3 BiS 3 is 6.01 9 10 3 kg/m 3 and calculated mass density is 6.11 9 10 3 kg/m 3 , the same as that of an ideal cell dimension with 4 (Cu 3 BiS 3 ) per cell [9]. Cu 3 BiS 3 is a ternary compound of I 3 -V-VI 3 and is a key member of the copper-based multicomponent chalcogenides (CBMC) family.…”

Since the last few decades, light-absorbing materials based on CuInGaSe 2 (CIGS), CuInS 2 (CIS), and CdTe have dominated the research in thin-film solar cells.To fabricate large-scale solar cells from these materials, problems may arise due to limited availability of the constituents, viz. Se, In, Cd, and Te, and the toxicity of some of these elements. Hence, recent research efforts are attentive toward abundantly available non-toxic, larger value of absorption coefficient and non-conventional elements. The Cu 3 BiS 3 having wittichenite orthorhombic structure is one the most promising absorber layer candidates for low-cost thin-film solar cells. It has suitable direct band gap (1.10-1.86 eV), large absorption coefficient (10 5 cm -1 ) with composition of earth abundant, and relatively non-toxic and cost-effective constituents. Till now, a majority work was done on the preparation of Cu 3 BiS 3 thin films by various techniques. Therefore, a comprehensive review of recent literature of Cu 3 BiS 3 is urgently required. This paper will review the various techniques that have been used to deposit Cu 3 BiS 3 semiconductor with the hope of new paths for the beginner.

This report embodies recommendations on zeolite nomenclature approved by the International Mineralogical Association, Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names. In a working definition of a zeolite mineral used for this review, structures containing an interrupted framework of tetrahedra are accepted where other zeolitic properties prevail, and complete substitution by elements other than Si and Al is allowed. Separate species are recognized in topologically distinctive compositional series in which different extra-framework cations are the most abundant in atomic proportions. To name these, the appropriate chemical symbol is attached by a hyphen to the series name as a suffix, except for the names harmotome, pollucite and wairakite in the phillipsite and analcime series. Differences in space-group symmetry and in order-disorder relationships in zeolites having the same topologically distinctive framework do not in general provide adequate grounds for recognition of separate species. Zeolite species are not to be distinguished solely on the ratio Si : Al except for heulandite (Si : Al < 4.0) and clinoptilolite (Si : Al ≥ 4.0). Dehydration, partial hydration, and overhydration are not sufficient grounds for the recognition of separate species of zeolites. Use of the term "ideal formula" should be avoided in referring to a simplified or averaged formula of a zeolite. Newly recognized species in compositional series are as follows: brewsterite-Sr, -Ba, chabazite-Ca, -Na, -K, clinoptilolite-K, -Na, -Ca, dachiardite-Ca, -Na, erionite-Na, -K, -Ca, faujasite-Na, -Ca, -Mg, ferrierite-Mg, -K, -Na, gmelinite-Na, -Ca, -K, heulandite-Ca, -Na, -K, -Sr, levyne-Ca, -Na, paulingite-K, -Ca, phillipsite-Na, -Ca, -K, and stilbite-Ca, -Na. Key references, type locality, origin of name, chemical data, IZA structure-type symbols, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, and comments on structure are listed for 13 compositional series, 82 accepted zeolite mineral species, and three of doubtful status. Herschelite, leonhardite, svetlozarite, and wellsite are discredited as mineral species names. Obsolete and discredited names are listed.Keywords: zeolite nomenclature, herschelite, leonhardite, svetlozarite, wellsite, brewsterite, chabazite, clinoptilolite, dachiardite, erionite, faujasite, ferrierite, gmelinite, heulandite, levyne, paulingite, phillipsite, stilbite. SOMMAIRECe rapport contient les recommandations à propos de la nomenclature des zéolites, telles qu'approuvées par l'Association minéralogique internationale, commission des nouveaux minéraux et des noms de minéraux. Dans la définition d'une zéolite retenue ici, les structures contenant une trame interrompue de tétraèdres sont acceptées dans les cas où les autres propriétés satisfont les critères de cette famille de minéraux. De plus, il peut y avoir remplacement complet de Si et Al par d'autres éléments. Des espèces distinctes font partie de séries de compositions dont l'agencement topologique est le même, le cation dominant ne faisant pas partie de la trame ...

“…The ternary phases A/Bi/Q (A"alkali or alkaline-earth metal; Q"S, Se, or Te) include, to name a few, two phases of CsBiS (9), RbBi S (10), ABiS (11) (A"Na, K), K Bi S (12), K Bi Se (13), Ba Bi Se (14), and CsBi Te (15). Ternary phases Bi/Cu/Q include CuBi S (16), Cu BiS (17), and CuBiS (18). Bi atoms are coordinated by six or seven Q atoms.…”
