Abstract
It is known that, similarly to SiC, zinc sulphide (ZnS) exhibits polytypism [1], Both wurtzite (α) and zinc-blende modifications (β) of ZnS were found in natural deposits of ZnS. α-ZnS is the stable form at high temperature and an inversion temperature of 1150°C was reported for the hexagonal-to-cubic modification [2]. More than 60 polytypes were identified in ZnS crystals grown at temperatures near 1200°C [3].
