Rietveld refinement of crystal structure of Sb8sTe12 has revealed the formation of SbsTe3 and Sb phases respectively with 11R and A7 structures （space group is R3m）. Phase fractions of the phases SbsTe3 and Sb have been determined to be 44.44% and 55.56% respectively. Raman spectrum of SbssTe12 has showed a highest intensity peak at 156 cm-1 and another peak at 151.1 cm-1, which correspond to Alg modes of SbsTe3 and element Sb, respectively. Analysis of Raman spectrum has substantiated the results obtained from structure refinement regarding the presence of two different phases.展开更多
