Figure 4
Diffraction data of trigonal ZrMo2O8 at 302 (lower trace) and 600 K (upper trace). Bragg reflections at ∼21.7, 25.0 and 28.0° disappear in the high-temperature pattern. The upper tick marks are for Pm1 (600 K model) and the lower marks are for P1c (302 K model). The small peaks marked with points at 28.3° are due to a minor ZrO2 impurity. The apparent appearance of an additional peak at ∼30° 2θ at 600 K is caused by anisotropic thermal expansion that splits the (030) and (002) reflections, which have almost identical 2θ values at 302 K. |
