Figure 2
Tetrahedral representation of incommensurately modulated low tridymite. The cell edges refer to a 3 × 1 × 2 commensurate approximation to the incommensurate superstructure. (a) View along the pseudo-hexagonal c axis at ditrigonal six-membered rings of tetrahedra with alternating tetrahedra pointing up and down. (b) View along the b axis at six-membered rings of tetrahedra with pairs of tetrahedra pointing to the same direction (cis configuration). The displacive modulation consists of a combination of wavy shifts and tilting of the tetrahedra.
