Incommensurately modulated crystalline phases are part of a more general family called aperiodic crystals. Their symmetry is treated within the theoretical framework of superspace groups that is a generalization of the 3D space groups that are used for con ...
In this paper, with the example of two different polymorphs of KEu(MoO4)(2), the influence of the ordering of the A-cations on the luminescent properties in scheelite related compounds (A',A '') (B',B '')O-4 is investigated. The polymorphs were synthe ...
We prove existence results à la Jeff Smith for left-induced model category structures, of which the injective model structure on a diagram category is an important example. We further develop the notions of fibrant generation and Postnikov presentation fro ...
Praseodymium molybdate Pr2(MoO4)3 was synthesized using the standard ceramic route. The crystal structure of the material has been successfully solved in superspace group I2/b(Rβ0)00 with lattice constants a = 5.30284(4), b = 5.32699(3), c = 11.7935(1)A° , ...
The previously proposed model postulating that the incommensurately modulated KNd(MoO4)2 structure can act as a generator of the scheelite family members is validated here by refining the crystal structure of europium molybdate, Eu2(MoO4)3. ...
The symmetry of a commensurately modulated crystal structure can be described in two different ways: in terms of a conventional three-dimensional space group or using the superspace concept in (3 + d) dimensions. The three-dimensional space group is obtain ...
The superspace concept is a new crystallographic approach for the generalisation of symmetry, structural models and structure dependent properties. Although the original motivation for the superspace was intended to describe symmetry of aperiodic crystals, ...
