Thorium tin antimonide, ThSn_0.2Sb_1.8

A. V. Tkachuk and A. Mar

Abstract: ThSn_0.2Sb_1.8 represents the upper limit of Sn substitution into ThSb₂. The Sn atoms enter the Sb site in the UAs₂-type or anti-Cu₂Sb-type (a binary variant of the PbFCl-type or ZrSiS-type) structure of ThSb₂, which is built up of layers of Th-centred monocapped square antiprisms.
