Abstract
It is evident from the literature that the 122 iron arsenides, XFe(2)As(2) with X = Ca, Sr, Ba or Eu, undergo one or more phase transitions from a higher-temperature paramagnetic tetragonal structure in grey group I4/mmm1' to an antiferromagnetic structure with magnetic space group C(A)mca. Symmetry analysis is used to enumerate the possibilities for the transition (or transitions) between the higher- and lower-symmetry structures, and the results are used as a basis for comment on published experimental results.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
