[Wien] the difference between Zinc blende and Sphalerite structure
Dear WIEN2k users ?I want to study the InSb and GaSb compounds, InSb has zinc blende structure but GaSb has Sphalerite structure, I have made the zinc blende structure with two positions (000) and (1/4,1/4.1/4) with a fcc structure, but I don?t know how can I make the Sphalerite structure, Is this structure the same as the zinc blende structure, if they are ?same why don?t they have the same name?. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Wien] the difference between Zinc blende and Sphalerite structure
Hi, sphalerite and zinc blende are two different names for the same structure (B3). It's like rock salt and sodium chloride which are the same (B1). F.

[Wien] the difference between Zinc blende and Sphalerite structure
Sphalerite and zinc blende seems to be due to a language difference. Sphalerite is derived from the Greek word sphaleros meaning treacherous. Blende is a German word meaning blind. Both names that are used interchangeably should be because miners could not visually distinguish galena (lead sulfide) /wiki/Lead%28II%29_sulfide from sphalerite.
