9.2.2.4. List of some polytypic structures

| top | pdf |

A few examples of some less-common polytypic structures published up to 1994 are listed below:

  • Minerals: McGillite (Iijima, 1982[link]), tridymite (Wennemer & Thompson, 1984[link]), pyrosmalite (Takéuchi, Ozawa & Takahata, 1983[link]), zirconolite (White, Segall, Hutchison & Barry, 1984[link]), Ti-biotite (Zhukhlistov, Zvyagin & Pavlishin, 1990[link]), diamond (Phelps, Howard & Smith, 1993[link]), scholzite (Taxer, 1992[link]), fiedlerite (Merlino, Pasero & Perchiazzi, 1994[link]), penkvilskite (Merlino, Pasero, Artioli & Khomyakov, 1994[link]), lengebachite – non-commensurate structure (Makovický, Leonardsen & Moelo, 1994[link]).

  • Inorganic compounds : Borates with general formula RAl3(BO3)4, where R = Y, Nd, Gd (Belokoneva & Timchenko, 1983[link]), BaCrO3 (Chamberland, 1983[link]), hexacyanocomplexes of transition metals (Jagner, 1985[link]), chromium iron carbides (Kowalski, 1985[link]), Fe1−xS (Kuban, 1985[link]), hexagonal copper(I) ferrite (Effenberger, 1991[link]), PbS·18TiS2 – a modulated structure (van Smaalen & de Boer, 1992[link]), α-LiNH4SO4 (Tomaszewski, 1992[link]), fullerene C60 (de Boer, van Smaalen, Petříček, Dušek, Verheijen & Meijer, 1994[link]).

  • Organic compounds : Oxalates (Fichtner-Schmittler, 1979[link]), primetine (Jarchow & Schmalle, 1985[link]), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one, C9H9NO4 (Kutschabsky, Kretschmer, Schrauber, Dathe & Schneider, 1986[link]), carbam­azepine dihydrate (Reck & Dietz, 1986[link]), piroxicam (Reck, Dietz, Laban, Günther, Bannier & Höhne, 1988[link]), E-octa­decanoic acid (Kaneko, Sakashita, Kobayashi, Kitagawa, Matsuura & Suzuki, 1994[link]).

  • Metals, intermetallic compounds and alloys : Alloys are treated in a monograph by Nikolin (1984[link]); a lecture note by Amelinckx (1986[link]) gives details of high-resolution electron microscopy and examples of the investigation of some alloys but also of other polytypic structures. Special papers: Li metal (Schwarz & Blaschko, 1990[link]), Zr(FeCr)2 Laves phases (Burany & Northwood, 1991[link]), doped Co–W and Co–Mo alloys (Nikolin, Babkevich, Izdkovskaya & Petrova, 1993[link]).

    Further data are given in articles by Bailey et al. (1977[link]), Dornberger-Schiff (1979[link]), Zvyagin (1988[link]), Baronnet (1992[link]) and Zorkii & Nesterova (1993[link]).

High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) applied in the structure analysis of (also disordered) polytypic substances: orientite (Mellini, Merlino & Pasero, 1986[link]), ardennite (Pasero & Reinecke, 1991[link]), pseudowollastonite (Ingrin, 1993[link]), laurionite and paralaurionite (Merlino, Pasero & Perchiazzi, 1993[link]), perovskites in the system La4Ti3O12–LaTiO3 (Bontchev, Darriet, Darriet, Weill, Van Tendeloo & Amelinckx, 1993[link]), baumhauerite (Pring & Graeser, 1994[link]), bementite (Heinrich, Eggleton & Guggenheim, 1994[link]), parsettensite (Eggleton & Guggenheim, 1994[link]).
