Zinc sulfide (ZnS), a naturally occurring salt, is the main source of zinc. It has two common crystalline forms (polymorphs): Sphalerite (“zinc blende”), with a cubic crystal structure, is the form ...

It is a beautiful, complex and diverse zinc sulfide (ZnS ... the spectrum of color reflects other elements in its crystal structure. It is this quality of sphalerite to accommodate so many ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Researchers found that zinc sulfide crystals were brittle under normal ... of defect found in crystals and are known to influence crystal properties. Under light exposure, the ZnS crystals were ...

They argue that under the high pressure of acarbon-dioxide-dominated atmosphere, zinc sulfide structures could form on thesurface of the first continents, where they had access to sunlight.
