Abstract

Molecular orbital calculations, which use the SCF-Xalpha scattered-wave cluster method, modelled the electronic structures of three sulphides. These minerals are linnaeite (Co3S4), carrollite (CuCo2S4), and greigite (Fe3S4) . These molecular orbital models seem to explain their conductivity, and Pauli paramagnetism. -K.A.R.
