Incommensurate composite modulated Nb sub 2 Zr sub x minus 2 O sub 2x+1 : X = 7. 1-10. 3

The compound Nb{sub 2}Zr{sub x{minus}2}O{sub 2x+1} has been studied by x-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It was previously thought to be an homologous series M{sub n}O{sub 2n+2} (n {triple bond} 2x, M {double bond} metal) but is more correctly described as a Type II, or...

Zusammenfassung:The compound Nb{sub 2}Zr{sub x{minus}2}O{sub 2x+1} has been studied by x-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It was previously thought to be an homologous series M{sub n}O{sub 2n+2} (n {triple bond} 2x, M {double bond} metal) but is more correctly described as a Type II, or composite, modulated structure. Reciprocal space is dominated by a conspicuous set of strong matrix reflections G corresponding to the metrically orthorhombic, average metal subcell (A--a, a{sub M} {approx equal} 5.1, b{sub M} {approx equal} 4.9, c{sub M} {approx equal} 5.2 {angstrom}).
