Figure 1
(a) Observed (circles) synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction patterns of a pulverized YCrO3 single crystal, collected at 120 K (top panel), 300 K (middle panel) and 500 K (bottom panel). The solid lines are the calculated patterns with a noncentrosymmetric space group of P1211 (No. 4). (b) The same synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction patterns as shown in (a) but refined with a centrosymmetric space group of Pmnb (No. 62). The vertical bars mark the positions of Bragg reflections. The lower curves represent the difference between observed and calculated patterns. |
