Popis: | A study by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy is reported of the type of compounds that is usually designated as ternary sulphides “MTS 3 ” ( M = Sn, Pb, Bi, rare earth metals; T = Nb, Ta). They are misfit layer compounds built of alternating double layers of MS with M in distorted square pyramidal coordination by sulphur and sandwiches TS 2 with T is distorted trigonal-prismatic coordination by sulphur. One intralayer lattice constant of MS is incommensurate with that of TS 2 . Recent progress in the understanding of the crystallographic description is discussed and a unifying view based on about ten compounds is presented. Results of electrical transport measurements are briefly summarized. |
