The mobility of these holes are not thermally activated. MnS thin films can be deposited at room temperature by chemical bath depositionĭonors and Acceptors : Donors are substitutional iodine and acceptors are manganese vacancies for p-type α-MnS.īasic Parameters of Electrical Properties : For p-type α-MnS, conductivity occurs from holes in a 3 d-band (Mn 3+). Β and γ types MnS can transform irreversibly to the stable α type MnS at 100–400 ☌ MnS is a dilute magnetic semiconductor that is used in solar cells as a window/ buffer layer X-ray diffraction pattern for MnS showing peak intensities can be found in reference 4.įind and list the crystal structure, atom positions, and create a Crystal Maker Model Morphology: Crystals cubic or octahedral, to 1 cm. Unit Cell Volume: V 142.53 ų (Calculated from Unit Cell)

MnS thin films can be found in several forms: the cubic modification having the rock-salt type structure (α-MnS), the zinc-blende-type (β-MnS), or wurtzite-type structure (γ-MnS) 1.Ĭlass (H-M): m3 m (4/ m 3 2/ m) - Hexoctahedral Found in epithermal sulfide vein deposits.Ĭleavage: Perfect.Named after the location of discovery, Alabanda, Aïdin, Turkey.A naturally occurring mineral, Alabandite.
