Abstract
The article presents the results of obtaining large-block polycrystals of the semiconductor solid solution system Cu2FeSn(Sx,Se1–x)4, formed in the entire concentration range. It was found that both the compounds Cu2FeSnS4, Cu2FeSnSe4 and the solid solutions have a tetragonal stannite structure I4̅2m with a ratio of the unit cell parameters с/а ∼ 2. The unit cell parameters varied linearly in accordance with Vegard’s law – from a = (5.704 ± 0.005) Å and c = (11.261 ± 0.01) Å for Cu2FeSnSe4 to a = (5.441 ± 0.005) Å and c = (10.72 ± 0.01) Å for Cu2FeSnS4. The dependences of the X-ray density and the Debye temperature were determined. Based on the results of differential thermal analysis, the melting temperatures of the samples were determined and a system phase diagram was constructed.
