Study of Thermophysical Properties of Cu₂NiTe₂ Compound at High Temperatures by DSC Spectroscopy
Abstract
The crystal structure and thermophysical properties of the chalcogenide semiconductor Cu2NiTe2 were comprehensively investigated using X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Structural characterization at room temperature revealed that the synthesized compound crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system with the space group P6₃/mmc, indicating the formation of a highly ordered polycrystalline phase. The diffraction peaks were sharp and well-defined, confirming the material's good crystallinity and structural homogeneity. The absence of additional impurity peaks in the diffraction pattern also suggests that the synthesized compound possesses a predominantly single-phase structure.
