Abstract
The structure-property relations of ternary copper chalcogenides, TlCu3-xS2 and α-BaCu2-xS2 are examined. The density of states, band dispersions, and Fermi surfaces of these compounds are investigated to verify the reason of the metal-insulator transitions by extended Huckel tight-binding band calculations. The origin of the metalinsulator transitions of non-stoichiometric TlCu3-xS2 and α-BaCu2-xS2 is thought to be the electronic instability induced by their Fermi surface nesting.
