Figure 6
Extended sections of the modulated crystal structure of LaTe1.94(1). The upper panel (a) shows the layered motif of an alternating stacking of [LaTe] and [Te] layers. The lower panel (b) displays the [Te] layer with an occupation cut-off value set to 0.825. Bonds are drawn between Te atoms in the range 2.926 to 3.012 Å, black squares emphasize vacancies in the [Te] layer. |
