Physical properties are discussed in detail and some theory is developed on the relationship between superconductivity and polytypism. Electron structure of misfit phases is also discussed as determined from electrical transport measurements, on the basis of the rigid band model (charge transfer from donor to acceptor entities).

18. 2 and SnS (hypothetical) compounds. Such a calculation was performed for an approximated commensurate situation; so, the complicated effects (such as localization of electrons) arising from the incommensurability are neglected. These effects are expected to be small for the chemical bonding in discussion, but may play an important role in the electronic transport properties.

Inorg Chem 1994, 33:3358-3363. This is the first paper to indicate the presence of metal vacancies (deduced from a very precise chemical analysis) within the MX part of misfit compounds. The presence of these vacancies has enabled the explanation of their semiconducting properties (as a result of equilibrium of the charge valence), which was earlier justified by a carrier localization consideration.
