Figure 9
Comparison between the stacking of the anion layers of (a) the rhombohedral phase and (b) the basic nolanite type. The dotted arrows indicate the position of the cations. The O symbol denotes the presence of an O-layer and whether a Ge2 or a Ge3 atom is present. A triangle marks a T1-layer, with the direction of the tip of the triangle indicating the orientation of the GeN4 tetrahedron. Shown are the stacking vectors between the different layers and the resulting hexagonal (hcp) or cubic (ccp) close-packing sequences. In the legend (right-hand side), both the ABC and the Jagodzinski (1949) notation are given. |
