Phases and twinning in C2Al3B48 (beta AlB12)

Auszug
Die Aluminium-Bor-Phase, die kürzlich als β-AlB12 beschrieben wurde, besteht aus zwei kristallographisch verwandten, miteinander verwachsenen Phasen der Zusammensetzung C2Al3B48. Beide Phasen sind rhombisch. Die eine hat die Gitterkonstanten a = 12,34 Å, 6 = 12,63 Å, c = 5,08 Å und die Raumgruppe Cmma oder C2ma; bei der anderen ist a = 6,17 Å, 6 = 12,63 Å, c = 10,16 Å, mögliche Raumgruppen sind Ammm, A222 und A2mm.
Die Kristalle sind immer nach (110) und (110) verzwillingt. Gelegentlich entsteht eine ungewöhnliche Zwillingsverwachsung, in welcher die Richtungen der a- und 6-Achsen beider Phasen vertauscht sind. Das ist als ein Beweis für eine Umwandlung aus einer einzigen Hochtemperaturform anzusehen. Diese Umwandlung wurde auch röntgenographisch beobachtet. Die Hochtemperaturphase ist tetragonal mit o = 8,82 Å, c = 5,09 Å; ihre Raumgruppe ist P4/nmm, P4/n oder P42/n. Die reversible Umwandlung ist graduell und bei ungefähr 850° C vollständig.
Abstract
The aluminum-boron phase described recently as beta AlB12 is shown to consist of two crystallographically related, intergrown phases with the bulk stoichiometry of C2Al3B48. One phase (A) is orthorhombic with a = 12.34 Å, 6 = 12.63 Å and c = 5.08 Å and space group Cmma or C2ma. The other phase (B) is also orthorhombic with a = 6.17 A, b = 12.63 Å and c = 10.16 Å and space group Ammm, A 222 or A 2mm.
Twinning is always present and occurs across the (110) and (110) faces. Occasionally an unusual type of twinning appears in which the a and b axes of both phases are parallel. This is interpreted as evidence of a disproportionation from a single high-temperature phase. This has been verified experimentally. The high-temperature phase (C) is tetragonal with a = 8.82 Å, c = 5.09 Å and space group P4/nmm, P4/n or P42/n. The transformation, which is reversible, is gradual and complete at about 850 °C.
