Distribution of Atoms in High Chalcocite, Cu2S.
In spite of its simple composition, the structure of chalcocite, CU(2)S, has long defied analysis. In high chalcocite the sulfur atoms are in hexagonal close-packing, while three varieties of copper atoms, with four-fold, three-fold, and two-fold coordinations respectively, are in disorder in the interstices.
