Structural Features of ZnS from Modern Submarine Sulfide Ores of the Manus Basin (Pacific Ocean): Results of Electron Microscope Study

摘要

In spite of a great number of publications, the formation and transformation of ZnS polytypes have not yet been clarified. Most researchers believe that the formation of the synthetic zinc sulfide polytype is related to solid-phase transformation of the 2H structure during cooling. However, detailed structural data on natural zinc sulfide typically represented by a mixture of polytypes are insufficient for making comparison and definite conclusions.
