Wurtzite Unit Cell Molecular Model
SKU: 68764W
Explore the wurtzite unit cell with the Indigo® 68764W molecular model to demonstrate C6v point group symmetry, hexagonal close-packed crystal structure, and tetrahedral coordination in binary semiconductors. Ideal for solid state chemistry, crystallography, materials science, and semiconductor physics courses.
The wurtzite zinc sulfide (ZnS) hexagonal polymorph is important in semiconductor physics and materials science. Wurtzite's structure belongs to the C6v point group and crystallographic space group P63mc. The unit cell model has yellow S2- ions at the corners and face positions, silver Zn2+ ions at half the tetrahedral interstitial sites & two red atoms indicate ions shared with adjacent unit cells. This tetrahedral bonding geometry characterizes all wurtzite-structure semiconductors.
Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (See Skeletal (Orbit/Minit)) that are compatible with every molecular model we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
