New strontium and rare earth-based mixed niobium misfit sulfides
(2003) In Solid State Sciences 5(3). p.495-502- Abstract
New niobium-based misfit sulfides (Ln1/3Sr2/3S)1.5]1.15 NbS2 (Ln = Sm, Tb) have been synthesized from a mixture of SrS, Ln2S3, Nb(m), and S in evacuated and sealed silica tubes by annealing at 1000 °C for 144 h under a sulfur partial pressure of 49.3 kPa. The compounds have been characterized by EDX analysis, X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction, electron diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Both sulfides have misfit structures with orthorhombic symmetry for the (Ln1/3Sr2/3S)1.5 (Ln = Sm, Tb) and NbS2 subsystems. The lattice parameters for the different subsystems are: for the Sm-based sulfide... (More)
New niobium-based misfit sulfides (Ln1/3Sr2/3S)1.5]1.15 NbS2 (Ln = Sm, Tb) have been synthesized from a mixture of SrS, Ln2S3, Nb(m), and S in evacuated and sealed silica tubes by annealing at 1000 °C for 144 h under a sulfur partial pressure of 49.3 kPa. The compounds have been characterized by EDX analysis, X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction, electron diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Both sulfides have misfit structures with orthorhombic symmetry for the (Ln1/3Sr2/3S)1.5 (Ln = Sm, Tb) and NbS2 subsystems. The lattice parameters for the different subsystems are: for the Sm-based sulfide [(SM1/3Sr2/3S)1.51]: a 5.7953(9) Å, b = 5.8007(5) Å, c = 14.957(2) Å and [NbS2]: a = 3.3420(7) Å, b = 5.8008(5) Å, c = 14.955(2) Å, and for the Tb-based sulfide [(Th1/3Sr2/3S)1.5]: a = 5.769(2) Å, b = 5.7766(7) Å, c = 14.906(2) Å and [NbS2]: a = 3.340(1) Å, b = 5.7769(8) Å, c = 14.905(2) Å. The [(SM1/3Sr2/3S)1.15NbS2 crystal structure has been refined from X-ray single crystal data. It belongs to the 1.5Q/1H homologue type where the (Sm1/3Sr2/3S)1.5 part is a three-atoms-thick slab. Sr-cations are mainly located at the exterior of the slab whereas Sm preferably occupy the positions at its center. Both compounds exhibit paramagnetic temperature dependence down to 2 K.
