    PHASE DIAGRAM OF (CuInTe 2 ) 1-x (FeTe) x ALLOYS (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) ( DIAGRAMA DE FASES DEL SISTEMA DE ALEACIONES (CuInTe 2 ) 1-x (FeTe) x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6)

    Polycrystalline samples of the (CuInTe2)1-x (FeTe)x alloy system where prepared by the melt and anneal technique and the products characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Optical Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (ODRS) techniques. A first sight, samples were composed by a tetragonal phase with traces of a secondary phase identified as Fe1.125Te. Under exhaustive examination, it was found that the tetragonal phase, at the same time, is composed by two phases, with the same crystal structure and close lattice parameters, typical of spinodal decomposition. From ODRS measurements, optical absorption vs energy curves was obtained. These curves show how the addition of Fe produces a disordering-reordering process in the cationic sublattice suggesting that composition x=0.5 (CuFeInTe3) could be an intermediate compound in the diagram. Using the obtained information, a preliminary T-x phase diagram is proposed. Se prepararon muestras policristalinas del sistema de aleaciones (CuInTe2)1-x (FeTe)x por la tecnica de fusion y recocido; los productos fueron caracterizados por las tecnicas de Difraccion de Rayos X (DRX), Analisis Termico Diferencial (ATD) y Reflectancia por Espectroscopia de Optica Difusa (REOD). A primera vista, las muestras se componen de una fase tetragonal con trazas de una fase secundaria identificada como Fe1.125Te. Bajo un examen mas exhaustivo, se encontro que la fase tetragonal se compone a su vez de dos fases, con la misma estructura cristalina y parametros de red cercanos, tipico de una descomposicion espinodal. A partir de mediciones REOD, se obtuvieron las curvas de absorcion optica vs energia. Estas curvas muestran como la adicion de Fe produce un proceso de desorden-reorden en la subred cationica que sugiere que la composicion x = 0,5 (CuFeInTe3) podria ser un compuesto intermediario en el diagrama. Con la informacion obtenida, se propone un diagrama de fases T-x.

    Polycrystalline samples (weight ~ 1g) of Cu 2 GeTe 4 and Cu 2 SnTe 4 alloys were prepared by the usual melt and anneal method and the products characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Optical Diffuse Reflectance UV/VIS/NIR Spectroscopy techniques. It was found that: a) Cu 2 GeTe 4 and Cu 2 SnTe 4 crystallize in an orthorhombic structure (s.g. Imm2; N o 44) with lattice parameters a=5.9281(4) A, b=4.2211(6) A, c=12.645(5) A and a=6.0375(6) A, b= 4.2706 (3) A, c=12.844(1) A, respectively; b) both alloys show two thermal transitions: 762 and 636K upon heating and; 700 and 578K upon cooling for Cu 2 GeTe 4 ; 702 and 636K upon heating and; 650 and 590K upon cooling for Cu 2 SnTe 4 ; c) both alloys present large deviations of stoichiometry for the cations Cu (~35%), Ge (7.2%) and Sn (26.4%) and minor deviation within the experimental error, for the anion Te; and, d) the measured optical band gaps were 0.63 and 0.53 eV for Cu 2 SnTe 4 and Cu 2 GeTe 4 , respectively. Se prepararon muestras policristalinas (peso ~ 1 g) de las aleaciones Cu 2 GeTe 4 y Cu 2 SnTe 4 por el metodo de fusion y recocido y los productos caracterizados por las tecnicas de Difraccion de Rayos X (DRX ) , Analisis Termico Diferencial (ATD), Microscopia Electronica de Barrido (MEB) y espectroscopia de reflectancia optica difusa UV / VIS / CIR. Se encontro que : a) Cu 2 GeTe 4 y Cu 2 SnTe 4 cristalizan en una estructura ortorrombica ( g.e. Imm2; N o 44 ) con parametros de red a = 5,9281 (4) A , b = 4.2211 (6) A , c = 12.645 (5) A y a = 6.0375 (6) A , b = 4,2706 (3) A , c = 12.844 (1) A , respectivamente ; b) ambas aleaciones muestran dos transiciones termicas : 762 y 636K al calentar y ; 700 y 578K tras el enfriamiento para Cu 2 GeTe 4 ; 702 y 636K al calentar y ; 650 y 590K tras el enfriamiento para Cu 2 SnTe 4 ; c) ambas aleaciones presentan importantes desviaciones estequiometricas en sus cationes: Cu (~35%), Ge (7.2%) and Sn (26.4%) y menor que el error experimental para el anion Te; y d) las brechas opticas de energia medidas fueron 0.63 y 0.53 eV para Cu 2 SnTe 4 y Cu 2 GeTe 4 , respectivamente.
