Figure 1
Plot of Pb/(Pb+Bi) versus Te/(Te+S) indicating compositions of phases in the aleksite series. The seven single-module structures (5-, 7-, 9-, 11-, 13-, 15- and 17-atom layers) are indicated by large black stars and the two corresponding double-layer polytypes 5.9 (7-), 7.11 (9-) are represented by filled red stars. Theoretical phases close to the PbS end of the series with 51-, 71-, 205- and 403-atom layers are shown by grey stars. The latter are also plotted together with galena (blue star) in the inset figure, for clarity.
