“…They sublime incongruently [4,5], and their molten mixtures tend to form glass on cooling [6,7]. In addition to the ZnGeAs 2 -and CdGeAs 2 -based limited solid solution series [2,3], the Zn-Cd-Ge-As system contains ZnAs 2 -and CdAs 2 -based limited solid solution series [8]. An α''-(Zn,Cd) 3 As 2 continuous solid solution with a tetragonal structure undergoes polymorphic transformations: above 600°C, it transforms into β-(Zn,Cd) 3 As 2 , a cubic phase, and below 470°C it decomposes to give a number of limited solid solutions (α, α', and α'') [9,10].…”
