First-principles study of electronic transport and structural properties of Cu12Sb4S13 in its high-temperature phase

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: This work uses first-principles calculations to show that the structural variety of the Cu-Sb-S network allows a description of tetrahedrite in terms of a fematinite-like crystal modified by an ordered arrangement of S-vacancies that are at the origin of the metallic character of this complex compound.
