(a) Convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) pattern of [Ca6][Pb9][(Si2O7)3(SiO4)3]□3 aligned along [210]. The absence of a mirror plane parallel to [20] is clear from the non-equivalence of the indexed reflections and is consistent with trigonal symmetry. (b) and (c) are simulated CBED for P3 and . In hexagonal symmetry the mirror plane (vertical line) is evident as, for example, in the mirror relationship of 004 and 00 reflections. |
