Systematic studies of the ZrCuSiAs (also LaOAgS or 1111) structure type resulted in the synthesis of two new fluoride chalcogenides, EuFAgSe and EuFAg1-δTe, whereas their sulfide analog, EuFAgS, could not be obtained. Both new compounds are tetragonal, P4/nmm, with cell parameters a = 4.1542(1) Å, c = 9.2182(1) Å for the selenide and a = 4.3255(1) Å, c = 9.5486(1) Å for the telluride. Rietveld refinement reveals a significant silver deficiency in the telluride (δ = 0.05), while the selenide is nearly stoichiometric. Both compounds are semiconductors as shown by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and confirmed by density-functional calculations of the band structure. Magnetism of both compounds is predominantly driven by Eu2+, as indicated by magnetic susceptibility measurements and corroborated by 151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy. EuFAg1-δTe and EuFAgSe are paramagnetic down to 1.8 K.
对ZrCuSiAs（也称为LaOAgS或1111）结构类型的系统研究导致合成了两种新型氟化物硫属化物，EuFAgSe和EuFAg1-δTe，而它们的硫化物类似物EuFAgS无法获得。这两种新化合物均为四方晶系，P4/nmm，硒化物的晶胞参数为a = 4.1542(1) Å，c = 9.2182(1) Å，碲化物的晶胞参数为a = 4.3255(1) Å，c = 9.5486(1) Å。Rietveld精修显示碲化物中存在明显的银缺陷（δ = 0.05），而硒化物几乎是化学计量的。如漫反射光谱所示且经能带结构的密度泛函计算证实，这两种化合物均为半导体。磁化率测量表明这两种化合物的磁性主要由Eu2+驱动，151Eu穆斯堡尔光谱也证实了这一点。EuFAg1-δTe和EuFAgSe在温度低至1.8 K时均为顺磁性。
