摘要
Single crystals of LaSeTe2 have been prepared by reaction of the elements in a LiCl/RbCl flux at 970 K for seven days. Satellite reflections observed in diffraction experiments indicate the presence of an incommensurate lattice distortion, which is of the charge-density-wave (CDW) type. The modulated structure has been solved from X-ray data at 173, 293, and 373 K. LaSeTe2 crystallizes in the 3+1-dimensional orthorhombic superspace group Cmcm(00gamma)s00 (No. 63.2) with lattice parameters of a=4.295(1), b=25.37.1(4), c=4.306(1)Angstrom (173K), a= 4.297(1), b=25.408(4), c=4.309(1)A (293 K), and a= 4.309(1), b = 25.481(6), c=4.321(1) Angstrom (373 K). The modulation vector q = (0, 0, 0.288) does not change over the temperature interval. Electron holographic investigations confirm the existence of the modulation and help to visualize the charge-density wave.
