Chalcanthite is one of only a few water soluble sulfate minerals. This fact drives much of what is interesting about this mineral. It forms in the near-surface secondary oxidation zone of copper deposits usually late in the development of these deposits. Since it is so soluble, it may crystallize, dissolve and recrystallize again and again ...

Wurtzite Boron Nitride (w-BN) is used for sintering coarse grit polycrystalline structure powders, which are later used for manufacturing traditional cutting and grinding tools. Cutting inserts made from Wurtzite boron nitride material have high shock-resistant properties superior to regular polycrystalline CBN. It is an excellent material for ...
Occurrence in Wales: the first written account of chalcanthite from Wales appears to be that by Aikin (1797), reporting the presence of 'sulphate of copper, crystallized and in solution' from Parys Mountain, on Anglesey. In 1858, Greg & Lettsom describe how at Pary's mine, strips of iron are laid in the slime containing chalcanthite in solution and, …
Natural chalcanthite can be hard to come by and is considered relatively rare. When naturally formed, the crystals are usually botryoidal, tabular, or prismatic in shape. Chalcanthite crystals have also been known to form …

We derive the effective-mass Hamiltonian for wurtzite semiconductors, including the strain effects. This Hamiltonian provides a theoretical groundwork for calculating the electronic band structures and optical constants of bulk and quantum-well wurtzite semiconductors. We apply Kane's model to derive the band-edge energies and the optical momentum …
Wurtzite, wz, is a dimorph of sphalerite, hexagonal and with compositional variations more restricted than in sphalerite, according to Ramdohr (1980), ZnS, with possible isomorphic incorporation of Fe or Mn (scarce) or of Cd (more significant) instead of Zn. Several wurtzite polymorphs are known, the most common being 2H (hexagonal). …
Indium-free quaternary chalcogenide, Cu 2 ZnSnSe 4 (CZTSe), has driven much attention for its potential application in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. It is well known that the composition …
The I 2-II-IV-VI 4 quaternary chalcogenide semiconductors (e.g., Cu 2 ZnGeS 4, Cu 2 ZnSnS 4, Cu 2 ZnGeSe 4 Cu 2 CdSnSe 4, and Ag 2 CdGeSe 4) have been studied for more than 40 years but the nature of their crystal structures has proved contentious.Literature reports exist for the stannite and kesterite mineral structures, …

Herein, wurtzite-structured crystals such as GaN, ZnO, and AlP are found for developing natural, dense, and stable SFLPs. It is revealed that the SFLPs can naturally exist on the (100) and (110) surfaces of wurtzite-structured crystals. All the surface cations and anions serve as the acid and base in SFLPs, ...
Small amounts of oxygen can substitute for sulfur in wurtzite and sphalerite. The maximum amount of oxygen found in synthetic sphalerite in this study is 0.7 weight per cent ZnO compared to a maximum of 1.0 weight per cent ZnO …

Chalcanthite's blue color is one of its most notable features, but it is insufficient in identification. Other useful tests include associated minerals, crystal habit, solubility and subsequent coloring of the water blue, and taste. A special note on tasting chalcanthite, however: chalcanthite has a sweetly metallic taste, but taste testing ...
Chalcanthite Properties Chalcanthite serves as a minor copper ore, forming naturally as native blue vil within copper veins near the surface. Often deposited on iron from water in copper mines, natural Chalcanthite is rare, overshadowed by its synthetic counterparts prevalent in the market. Synthetically grown using copper sulfate solutions, …
The crystal structures of cation-vacancy ordered wurtzite α-Al 2S 3 and conventional wurtzite ZnS are summarized in Figure 1. α-Al 2S 3 shows a polar and chiral P6 1 space group symmetry. Two-thirds of the tetrahedral sites in wurtzite-type structures are occupied by the Al atoms, while the remaining one-third are vacant 22,23. In contrast to ...

Natural Chalcanthite crystals are very rare in nature. Well-formed crystals are easily grown synthetically from copper sulfate solutions. This can be done by dissolving a readily available chemical salt called copper sulfate, and then letting the water evaporate. This leaves behind a crystallized mass of Chalcanthite which can crystallize beautifully if …

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman scattering reveal that ZnS deposited thin films showed hexagonal wurtzite crystalline phase. The films average crystallite size range was from 8.15 to 31.95 nm, which was determined using the Debye–Scherrer equation for the peak W(101). Besides an experimental study of first- …
The variation in a and c lattice parameters as a function of Mg concentration x for Mg x Zn 1-x O in the wurtzite structure is displayed in Fig. 2.Note that the substitution of Zn with Mg (Mg x Zn 1-x O) leads to an increase of the lattice parameter a and a decrease of the lattice parameter c. The behavior is monotonic and seems to be non-linear.
