Figure 8
Arrangement of the (As2S5)4− groups (represented as vertex-sharing trigonal pyramids) within a portion of size 2a × 2b × 5c unit cells. (a) Average disordered structure, both orientations of the disordered pyramids are possible at every position. (b) A portion of the incommensurately modulated structure of size 2a × 2b × 5c unit cells. The differently coloured (As2S5)4− groups correspond to configurations where the two different As positions are alternatively occupied, showing pyramids pointing up or down with respect to the plane of the picture. |
