Figure 2
Schematic representation of the mechanism of the NaCl to CsCl type transition as proposed by Hyde & O'Keeffe (1973BB18) and Watanabe et al. (1977BB38). (a) Atomic arrangement in an NaCl-type structure; (b) movement of the (001) atomic layers parallel to [110] by [\textstyle{1\over8}2^{1/2}a]; (c) metrical variations, arrows indicate the direction of elongation or contraction; (d) CsCl-type structure after the phase transition. Thin lines mark the NaCl-type unit cell, heavy lines that of the CsCl type.
