Phase Transitions in Graphite – SbCl5 Intercalates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Interlayer and intralayer ordering in SbCl5-GIC's are probed by X-ray diffuse scattering. A crossover from 3-d to quasi 2-d structure is observed at around stage 2. Surprisingly, different in-plane arrangements can be obtained under nominally the same preparation conditions at the same stage. A stripe-like incommensurate structure close to the √39 superperiod of graphite, and a 14×14 commensurate superlattice structure, have been observed in different samples. The formation of these groundstate structures, and their transitions to ‘disordered’ phases, are discussed in terms of the molecular degrees of freedom.
