Abstract

Sb2Se3 is a highly anisotropic semiconductor and unambiguous Miller indexing of its planes and diffraction patterns is therefore important – as is the preparation of oriented and indexed surfaces of single crystals for fundamental studies. The purpose of this letter is twofold: a) to bring attention to the two different Miller indexing conventions in popular use for Sb2Se3, (Space group Number 62, settings Pnma and Pbnm) explaining how they are related to its crystal structure and making recommendations for reporting protocols, and b) to draw attention to a non-x-ray method of preparing the three {100} type faces of single crystals of Sb2Se3 for use in physical investigations.
