Abstract:
The polar crystal structure of diammonium [octaoxidoditellurato(IV)]tungstate, (NH(4))(2)WTe(2)O(8), was studied at high pressures using single-crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell at the HASYLAB synchrotron (DESY, Hamburg, Germany). No phase transition was observed up to 7.16 GPa. However, a full structure determination at 5.09 GPa shows that the coordination number of one of the two non-equivalent Te atoms has decreased from four to three.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
