摘要
The low-temperature superstructure of alpha'-NaV2O5 is determined by synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction. The high-temperature structure is confirmed to be centrosymmetric, but the modulated structure is found to be acentric Fmm2 on the 2a X 2b X 4c supercell. An analysis using superspace symmetry shows that there are modulated and nonmodulated chains of vanadium atoms, tentatively assigned to magnetic and nonmagnetic chains. The arrangement of these chains is different from any model previously considered. [S0031-9007(99)09001-8].
