Abstract

The crystal structure of the semiconductor compound CuMn 2 InSe 4 was analysed using X-ray powder diffraction data. CuMn 2 InSe 4 crystallizes, with a stannite structure, in the tetragonal space group I\(\boldsymbol {\overline {4}}\)2m (No. 121), Z = 2, with unit cell parameters a = 5.8111(2) Å, c = 11.5739(8) Å and V = 390.84(3) Å3. The refinement of 28 instrumental and structural parameters led to R p = 8.1%, R w p = 10.5%, R e x p = 6.5% and S = 1.6, for 86 independent reflections.
