| Abstract: | Incommensurately modulated structure of the composite crystal InCr1−xTixO3+x/2 was refined by the profile fitting of powder X-ray diffraction based on the four-dimensional superspace group. The crystal consists of two monoclinic subsystems mutually incommensurate in b. The first subsystem is the alternate stacking of an edge-shared InO6 octahedral layer and a Cr/Ti triangle-lattice plane along c*. A sheet of oxygen atoms constructing the second subsystem is also extending on the Cr/Ti plane. The whole structure is the alternate stacking of an edge-shared InO6 octahedral layer and a Cr/Ti-O plane, where displacive modulation of O ions is prominent. Metal ions on the Cr/Ti-O plane are surrounded by three or four oxygen ions on the plane and, in addition, two axial ones. |
