Abstract
(Sr1−xCax)33Bi24+δAl48O141+3δ/2 fullerenoid solid solutions have been synthesized and the effect of partial substitution of Sr by Ca has been characterized by (scanning) transmission electron microscopy, applying different imaging methods. Most of the defects commonly observed in face centered cubic compounds, have also been observed in (Sr1−xCax)33Bi24+δAl48O141+3δ/2. Based on purely geometrical and topological models, structural presentations for the coherent twin boundaries and stacking faults have been constructed on the basis of complex spherical “Al84O210” units. The results are compared to defects observed in the crystallite fullerite C60.
Dedicated to Professor Dr. Knut Urban on the occasion of his 65th birthday
