AB  - Microwave-assisted chemical precipitation was used to prepare CuxCd1–xS
      (x = 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, and 0.2) nanoparticles mixture. The crystal
      structure, size, and surface morphology of the as-synthesized
      nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction and SEM. Presence of
      copper, cadmium, and sulphur in proper ratios in the samples was
      confirmed by energy-dispersed X-ray analysis. DC electrical resistance
      measurements of all the samples in the temperature range of 300…500 K
      showed phase transition above a certain temperature.
