摘要
The electrical and magnetic properties of the tetragonal BaCu2S2 and orthorhombic alpha-BaCu4S3 compounds are reported as functions of temperature. The electrical resistivity measurements on pressed pellets show that both compounds are semiconductors. A diamagnetic behavior was found for the two compounds at T > 70 K, followed by a weak paramagnetic increase (mu(eff) less than or equal to 0.2 mu(B)) at lower temperatures. The electronic structure and bonding properties of stoichiometric BaCu2S2 and BaCu4S3 are analyzed by means of extended Huckel tight-binding calculations. The results suggest that both compounds adopt a semiconductor behavior, in agreement with the resistivity measurements. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
