Pure metastable cubic FeS (sphalerite structure) rapidly converts to mackinawite (tetrahedral FeS) in a few hours at room temperature. Sphalerite (ZnS) is a stable mineral, and the mineral rudaschevskite (Fe,Zn)S has been discovered. Sphalerite will incorporate up to about 20 wt% Fe in its structure. The question: how much Zn can go into the metastable cubic FeS structure, an dwell it stabilize the phase?

I'm interested in this project. What should I do next?
Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty project that interests you and for which you might be
qualified, be sure to review
the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor .
The Director of Undergraduate Research,
Dr. Jane Greer. , can provide you with further guidance about finding
and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.
Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting
with a potential faculty mentor, you can use the "Contact Details" for this project to connect with the faculty
member and to begin a conversation about how you might get involved.
