Crystallographic study of the intermediate compounds SbZn, Sb3Zn4 and Sb2Zn3

The processes of development of semiconductor ceramics made up of bismuth, antimony and zinc often require during their preparation to know the nature of the involved phases. For that, it is always essential to refer to the diagrams of balance between phases of the binary systems or ternary. We presented in this work the study by X-rays diffraction relating to the intermediate compounds SbZn, Sb3Zn4 and Sb2Zn3. The analysis by X-rays is often useful to give supplement the results of the other experimental methods.
