Abstract: | We report the synthesis and elementary properties of the Co7Se8−xSx (x=0-8) and Ni7Se8−xSx (x=0-7) solid solutions. Both systems form a NiAs-type structure with metal vacancies. In general, the lattice parameters decrease with increasing x, but in the Ni7Se8−xSx system c increases on going from x=5 to 7. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that all samples exhibit temperature-independent paramagnetism from 25-250 K. Samples within the Co7Se8−xSx system, as well as Ni7Se8 and Ni7SeS7, were found to be poor metals with resistivities of ∼0.20 and ∼0.06 mΩ cm at 300 K, respectively. The Sommerfeld constant (γ) was determined from specific heat measurements to be ∼13 mJ/molCoK2 and ∼7 mJ/molNiK2 for Co7Se8−xSx and Ni7Se8−xSx, respectively. |
