✦ Synopsis

A silicopnictide ZrCuSiP was prepared through the reaction between ZrCuSi alloy and red phosphor in evacuated quartz ampoules. Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray di4raction pattern revealed that ZrCuSiP has the ZrCuSiAs-type structure (P4/nmm) with the lattice constants of a ‫؍‬ 0.35671(1) nm and c ‫؍‬ 0.94460(4) nm. Electrical resistivity measurements at temperatures from 5 to 300 K indicated that ZrCuSiP is a metallic compound.
