zinc blende

It is also known as zinc blende.

The more stable cubic form is known also as zinc blende or sphalerite.

Zinc blende (two words) is another name for the mineral "sphalerite".

The zinc blende type of structure has a face-centred cubic structure (see figure 3.26).

Zinc blende structures have higher packing factors than 0.34 depending on the relative sizes of their two component atoms.

It crystallizes in the rock salt structure, although the zinc blende structure might be anticipated.

A metastable γ-phase also exists below 420 K, which has a zinc blende structure.

Another fragile candidate mineral is sphalerite (zinc blende).

Miners have also been known to refer to sphalerite as zinc blende, black-jack, and ruby jack.

It has the same structure as zinc blende but with each zinc and sulphur ion replaced by a carbon atom.

Most superhard materials have simple, high-symmetry crystal structures, e.g., diamond cubic or zinc blende.

The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral.

Walter Friedrich and Paul Knipping diffract X-rays in zinc blende.

GaSb is a III-V semiconductor with the zinc blende crystal structure.

Crystallographically the structure of chalcopyrite is closely related to that of zinc blende ZnS (sphalerite).

Most other commercial semiconductors (GaAs, InSb, etc.) can be made in the related zinc blende structure, with similar cleavage planes.

The ions are tetrahedrally coordinated when in the zinc blende or the wurtzite structure, with a Cu-I distance of 2.338 Å.

Like ZnS, HgS crystallizes in two forms, the reddish cubic form and the black zinc blende form.

Another common structure is the "zincblende" structure (also spelled "zinc blende"), named after the mineral zincblende (sphalerite).

Copper(I) bromide and copper(I) chloride also transform from the zinc blende structure to the wurtzite structure at 405 and 435 C, respectively.

Therefore, the longer the copper - halide bond length, the lower the temperature needs to be to change the structure from the zinc blende structure to the wurtzite structure.

While examining the spectroscopic lines in zinc blende the French chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran found indications of a new element in the ore.

His brother John Champion developed a refined process and patented in 1758 the calcination of zinc sulfide (zinc blende) to oxide for use in the retort process.

The ratios of cations to anions in the caesium chloride (CsCl), sodium chloride (NaCl) and zinc blende crystal lattices are all 1:1.

Zinc sulfide, ZnS, crystallizes in two closely related structures, the Zinc blende structure and the Wurtzite structure which are common structures of compounds with the formula MA.
