摘要
The crystal structure of MgB20 has been investigated by X-ray and synchrotron powder diffraction at room temperature. As it happens in other metal-boron systems, the Rietveld refinement of this magnesium boron-rich phase shows a structure derived directly from beta-boron. The substantially unaltered B-B framework hosts magnesium atoms in three different atomic positions (D, E and F holes); the occupancy of these sites is partial. The resulting unit cell is trigonal with space group R (3) over barm, the refined hexagonal axes a = 1.09830(4) and c = 2.41561(15) nm. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
