Pyrite-type silicon diphosphide p-SiP2: Structural parameters and valence electron density distribution
Abstract
X-ray diffraction (293 K) and neutron diffraction (60, 120, 293 K) data have been measured from SiP2 single crystal. The lattice constants, interatomic distances and temperature parameters of Si and P atoms vary linearly in the range 60 K to 293 K. The change of the P – P bond length is very small (2.156 Å – 2.159 Å). The vibrational amplitude of the Si atom becomes 10% larger than that of the P atom at 293 K. The deformation densities ϱX – N and ϱX – X) shows a strong bonding electron density (0.65e Å−3) at the centre of the P2 pairs. There is a small electron density maximum (0.2 e Å−3) in the Si – P bond region but not located on the Si – P straight line. The results have been compared with that obtained in FeS2 and MnS2.
