Phase equilibria in the quasi-ternary system Ag 2S–In 2S 3–CdS at 870 K

Abstract

An isothermal section of the quasi-ternary system Ag 2S–CdS–In 2S 3 at 870 K was investigated using X-ray phase analysis. No quaternary intermediate phase was found. A continuous solid solution series between In 2S 3, AgIn 5S 8 and CdIn 2S 4 was discovered; a limited solid solution range of CdS is localized along the AgInS 2–CdS section.
