(Ag{sub 2}TeS{sub 3}){sub 2} {small_bullet} A{sub 2}S{sub 6} (A = Rb, Cs) : layers of silver thiotellurite intergrown with alkali-metal polysulfides.
The layered compounds RbAg{sub 2}TeS{sub 6} and CsAg{sub 2}TeS{sub 6} crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group P6{sub 3}cm, with a = 19.15 {angstrom}, c = 14.64 {angstrom}, and V = 4648 {angstrom}{sup 3} and a = 19.41 {angstrom}, c = 14.84 {angstrom}, and V = 4839 {angstrom}{sup 3}, respectively. The structures are composed of neutral [Ag{sub 2}TeS{sub 3}] layers alternating with charge-balanced salt layers containing polysulfide chains of [S{sub 6}]{sup 2-} and alkali-metal ions. RbAg{sub 2}TeS{sub 6} and CsAg{sub 2}TeS{sub 6} are air- and water-stable, wide-band-gap semiconductors (E{sub g} {approx} 2.0 eV) exhibiting nonlinear-optical second-harmonic generation.
