Abstract

ZnSiP 2 has been prepared from the constituent elements by the iodine vapour transport method. The initial synthesis produced ZnSip 2 in microcrystalline form. Modifications in the design of the preparation ampoule and experimentation with the temperature profile permitted the microcrystalline material to be grown into significant sized single crystals. The crystals occurred as truncated pyramids with base and top widths of 5 and 1.5 mm respectively and of height 2.5 mm. It is conjectured that convective flow is the dominant transport mechanism in the temperature and pressure ranges used to grow the ZnSiP 2.
