Synthesis and crystal growth of novel layered bismuthides ATM2Bi2, (A = K, Rb; TM = Zn, Cd) with significant electron-deficient structure
read the original abstract
Layered bismuthides of the family ATM2Bi2 are showing very interesting structural and physical properties. Here, we report crystal growth and characterization of new ternary layered bismuthides: RbCd2Bi2, RbZn2Bi2 and KZn2Bi2. Single crystals were grown by self-flux technique. As grown crystals were characterized by combination of powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. All novel compounds crystallize in layered ThCr2Si2 structure type with plate-like morphology with weak bonding between layers. Significant structural difference between RbCd2Bi2 and AZn2Bi2 (A=K, Rb) was found.
