Abstract
A novel compound CuHgSI was synthesized by solid-state reaction of CuI and HgS. The space group of the low-temperature phase has been determined to be Pna2 1 (No. 33) by the Rietveld refinement using the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The electric conductivity at 491 K measured by the AC impedance method was 1.1×10 −5 S cm −1. The ionic transport number measurements indicated that the Cu + ions constitute the majority charge carriers in these samples. The electronic contribution to the conduction process is small in comparison with the Cu + ionic contribution.
