Title: Materials Data on ZnCu2SnSe4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cu2ZnSnSe4 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent SnSe4 tetrahedra. All Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.44 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form CuSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuSe4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent SnSe4 tetrahedra. All Cu–Se bond lengths are 2.44 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form ZnSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SnSe4 tetrahedra and corners with eight CuSe4 tetrahedra. All Zn–Se bond lengths are 2.49 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form SnSe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnSe4 tetrahedra and corners with eight CuSe4 tetrahedra. All Sn–Se bond lengths are 2.62 Å. Se2- is bonded to two Cu1+, one Zn2+, and one Sn4+ atom to form corner-sharing SeZnCu2Sn tetrahedra.
