Study of the microstructure of the complex sulphide compound ZnIn

Abstract

Currently, the production of new inorganic materials based on the sulfides synthesis is a major
and promising direction. This is due to the obvious society needs for highly sensitive, fast-acting as well as
economically attractive materials for various science branches and technologies. Such materials include ZnIn
sulfide which has already found various practical applications.
This work describes the methods for synthesis of sulfide material. The synthesis of the indicated sulfide was
carried out by the developed methods.The obtained material was analyzed on an energy dispersive spectrometer Quantax 70, which allows for X-ray mapping, line elemental analysis and multielement point analysis. The
specific features of the material microstructure and a surface nature of its structural elements are revealed.
The obtained results make possible to predict many physicochemical properties of complex sulfides
compounds and to judge their changes under various influences. Knowledge about microstructure features
of such material as well as understanding of complex processes that affect its properties is an indispensable
condition for new materials creation based on complex sulfides.
