Abstract
A rapid and accurate total-re flection XRF method was developed in order to
determine the absolute stoichiometry of ternary compounds of the type Cu:I
n:Se. The method was used to determine the composition of the synthesised c
ompounds CuAInySez(CIS). Three compounds were synthesised with different at
omic proportions x:y:z; 1:3:5, 2:4:7 and the no stoichiometric phase 1:2.5:
4.75. The results obtained showed a systematic deficiency of In and an incr
ement of Se with respect to the stoichiometric formula.
