Title: Materials Data on ZnCu2SiS4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cu2ZnSiS4 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.32 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form ZnS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zn–S bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.39 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form SiS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Si–S bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.17 Å. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Zn2+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing SZnCu2Si tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Cu1+, one Zn2+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing SZnCu2Si tetrahedra.
