Cover Story: Crystal growth of the new ternary chalcogenide Cu3InSe4 allowed for a detailed investigation of the crystal and electronic structure. High-resolution single-crystal synchrotron measurements revealed a cubic crystal structure, with CuSe4 and InSe4 tetrahedra connected by corner-sharing selenium atoms. Electronic structure calculations indicated p-type metallic conduction, and electron localization function analyses showed partial ionic bonding with highly delocalized electrons in the regions between the cation atoms and selenium. The crystal structure is different, but closely related to, chalcogenides with the sulvanite crystal structure that are of current interest for potential energy-related applications. View this paper
