Abstract

Alloys of the CuAlS2 – CuFeS2 system were prepared by thermobaric treatment at high pressure of 5.5 GPa and temperatures ranging from 573 to 1573 K and phase formation in the system was investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The unit-cell parameters (the lattice constants and the unit-cell volume) were computed as a function of the composition. Absence of complete solubility in the (CuAlS2)1-x-(CuFeS2)x system was established. Formation of solid solutions with the tetragonal structure of chalcopyrite was detected for compositions with the molar part of CuFeS2 x not exceeding 0.10.
