Each copper or indium atom is surrounded by four nearest-neighbor sulfur atoms while each sulfur is surrounded by two copper and two indium nearest-neighbors. Bulk CIS generally has a cubic structure.

"In the long-term, a source of single indium atoms may be constructed to generate structures more accurately on an atom by atom basis." Kim and Meschede also plan to extend the ANF technique to Group ...
