In the combinatorial synthesis of thin films, multiple elements are simultaneously deposited to achieve well-defined composition gradients and create a materials library. However, including volatile elements directly into the combinatorial synthesis is a challenge. Here, we use instead a two-step synthesis process combining combinatorial cosputtering with a separate ex-situ reaction step with the volatile elements Se and Sb. In particular, we investigate the phase formation and stability of the (Fe,Ni)Sb2 and (Fe,Cr)Sb2 solid solutions in the orthorhombic marcasite structure. Further, we study the (Fe,Co)Se2 solid solution, which is on the brink of transformation from orthorhombic marcasite to cubic pyrite structure. Our preparation route with a separate low-temperature synthesis step permits detailed studies of solid solutions and phase diagrams at well-defined temperatures.
