Abstract

High-resolution electron microscope observations were carried out on the cation-deficient spinel compounds Ga2/3Cr2S4 and InCr5/3S4. X-ray analysis of both compounds indicates that there exist 1/3 vacancy per formula unit in 8a positions. It was also found that the vacancy ordering occurs in Ga2/3Cr2S4 below about 1100°C, as well as in InCr5/3S4. Lattice images of vacancy ordered and disordered structures were obtained. In some electron micrographs of ordered InCr5/3 S4, several domains of disordered region were observed in between the matrix of the ordered structure. In a [110] image, characteristic lattice defects were observed on the (110) plane.
