KMnCuTe(2): a layered antiferromagnetic semiconductor with long metal–metal distance
The magnetic semiconductor in a two-dimensional system is a major subject for both theoretical and experimental investigations. Here we report the synthesis of a new quaternary manganese chalcogenide KMnCuTe(2), which shows layered structure and antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconducting features. Singl...

description | The magnetic semiconductor in a two-dimensional system is a major subject for both theoretical and experimental investigations. Here we report the synthesis of a new quaternary manganese chalcogenide KMnCuTe(2), which shows layered structure and antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconducting features. Single crystals of KMnCuTe(2) were obtained using a self-flux method and based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction, KMnCuTe(2) adopts the ThCr(2)Si(2)-type structure composed of edge-sharing tetrahedral layers separated by K(+) cations. The Mn and Cu atoms randomly distribute in the centre of tetrahedral units. Attributed to the large radius of Te, KMnCuTe(2) has large lattice parameters (a = 4.3115(3) Å and c = 14.9360(20) Å), leading to a long metal–metal distance (3.049 Å) in the tetrahedral layers. Based on the experiments and theoretical calculations, KMnCuTe(2) exhibits a G-type AFM interaction with the transition temperature at around 225 K and an indirect semiconducting nature with the band gap of 0.95 eV. The magnetic semiconducting property of KMnCuTe(2) is unique in AMnMCh(2) systems (A = Li, Na, K, M = Cu, Ag and Ch = S, Se, Te), which could be associated with the large metal–metal distance. Our work not only highlights the role of metal–metal interactions on regulating the properties of ThCr(2)Si(2)-type compounds, but also provides a feasible strategy to obtain the layered magnetic semiconductor. |
