  • We present a combined X-ray and neutron diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and 121Sb NMR studies of AgSbTe2, supported by first-principles calculations aiming to elucidate its crystal structure. While diffraction methods cannot unambiguously resolve the structure, Raman and NMR data, together with electric field gradient calculations, strongly support the rhombohedral R-3m phase. Moreover, the agreement between experimental and calculated Raman spectra further corroborates this result, resolving the 60-year sold debate about the exact crystal structure of the AgSbTe2 compound.
