Abstract
The stable bulk crystal structure of cadmium sulphide (CdS) is of the wurtzite type. It can also crystallize in the cubic, zinc-blende modification (c-CdS). By using the new crystal growth technique (MBE) and a suitable substrate, (110)InP, it is now possible to grow cubic CdS relatively easily [1]. Note that the lattice parameter of InP (5.8688 Å) is close to that of c-CdS (5.818 Å).
