Abstract

The crystal structure of CuS has been confirmed experimentally using the powder diffraction method on the high-resolution powder diffractometer at the Rutherford-Appleton laboratory. The observed crystal structure is P63/mmc. Standard density functional calculations on CuS on a variety of crystal structures are also reported. The calculations also predict P63/mmc as the stable crystal structure. On the basis of the agreement between theory and experiment the authors are able to discuss the details of the bonding in this material.
