Crystal structure and chemistry of tricadmium digermanium tetra-arsenide, Cd₃Ge₂As₄.

ABSTRACT: A cadmium germanium arsenide compound, Cd₃Ge₂As₄, was synthesized using a double-containment fused quartz ampoule method within a rocking furnace and a melt-quench technique. The crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopies (i.e. SEM, STEM, and TEM), and selected area diffraction (SAD) and confirmed with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The chemistry was verified with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
