Structural and Charge Density Properties of Manganese Sulfide

Abstract

Single phased Manganese Sulfide was analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data sets with cubic structure. The simulated XRD data sets were used to analyze the structure of manganese sulfide. The powder profile refinements were done by Rietveld profile refinement technique. The refinement results were subjected to analyze the charge density analysis using structure factors. The chemical bonding nature between Mn and S were analyzed by charge density distribution studies through maximum entropy method. From MEM analsysis, it found that the bonding between Mn and S atoms is ionic in nature.
