Manganese phosphorus trisulfide (MnPS3) is a layered quasi-two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with a Néel temperature TN of 78 K. MnPS3 has a monoclinic structure of step group C2/m. MnPS3 shows typical antiferromagnetic behavior with an isotropic tendency. MnPS3 is a high resistance broadband semiconductor with a gap close to 3 eV with green optical transparency. Applications: Manganese phosphorus trisulfide can be used as a photocatalyst for water splitting, with the advantages of band-edge position, strong absorption in the visible spectrum, wide applicability (pH = 0-7), and high carrier mobility. With its rather unique photophysical and electrical properties, manganese phosphorus trisulfide can potentially be used in field-effect transistors, magnetic tunnel junctions, and spintronic devices. Synonyms: Manganese phosphosulphide, Manganese thiophosphate, Manganese phosphorous trisulphide Alfa Chemistry Materials product group: Semiconductor Manufacturer data sheet |
