Abstract

A symmetry analysis of monoclinic, orthorhombic, and trigonal M 3 X 2-type superstructures, which can be formed in highly nonstoichiometric MX y compounds with B1 structure, has been performed. Channels of disorder-order transitions MX y M 3 X 2 have been determined. It has been shown that two physically allowed sequences of transformations associated with the formation of M 3 X 2 superstructures are possible in nonstoichiometric MX y compounds of Group IV transition metals with decreasing temperature, i.e., “cubic (space group \(Fm\bar 3m\)) disordered MX y phase → orthorhombic (space group Immm) ordered M 3 X 2 phase → orthorhombic (space group C2221) ordered M 3 X 2 phase” and “cubic (space group \(Fm\bar 3m\)) disordered MX y phase → orthorhombic (space group Immm) ordered M 3 X 2 phase → monoclinic (space group C2) ordered M 3 X 2 phase.”
