Materials Data on Zn2GaCuSe4 by Materials Project

Abstract

CuZn2GaSe4 is Stannite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaSe4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra. All Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.45 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form ZnSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent GaSe4 tetrahedra. All Zn–Se bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form GaSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra. All Ga–Se bond lengths are 2.46 Å. Se2- is bonded to one Cu1+, two equivalent Zn2+, and one Ga3+ atom to form corner-sharing SeZn2GaCu tetrahedra.
