Solid solutions of Cu7SiS5I-Cu7GeS5I system were synthesized using solid-phase reactions involving a technique specifically developed for the synthesis of ternary compounds that exhibit incongruent melting behaviour. Chemical interaction in the Cu7GeS5I-Cu7SiS5I system was studied by X-ray phase ana...
