Abstract:
Crystal structures of MgCoGa, Mg0.74CoGa0.52 and Mg0.49CoGa0.15 phases from the Mg-Co-Ga system were investigated using single-crystal diffraction. These structures belong to the family of so-called Laves phases. Hexagonal MgCoGa crystallizes as a disordered phase within the MgZn2 structure type. The orthorhombic structure of Mg0.74CoGa0.52 is a distortion variant of MgZn2 and URe2 structure type, and the structural relation is demonstrated in terms of a Bärnighausen formalism group-subgroup transformation scheme. The structure of trigonal phase Mg0.49CoGa0.15 is strongly disordered, as is shown by the presence of adjacent atomic sites which cannot be occupied simultaneously. In Mg0.49CoGa0.15, two subcells (A and B) were obtained in a ratio of 9:1. Subcell A is closely related to MgZn2-type.
