Cubic stacking

The cubic stacking, with a sequence. .. A(3A B7B CaC. is called the 3R form (with three composite S-M-S layers) and is adopted by 3R-M0S2 (Rh), NbS2 (Rh) TaS2, WS2, ReS2. 

If the number of c letters in a Jagodzinski symbol is divided by the total number of letters one obtains the percentage of cubic stacking in the total structure. 

Additionally, SANS will reveal the size of suggested blocks of purely cubic stacking and of the 9R-like stacking in ice Ic as obtained from ice IX. 

The specific form of the crystal is controlled by how rapidly various faces are developed (grow) and this depends on the internal forces in the unit cell, the environment in which the crystal grows, the concentration of the ions in solution, and the temperature and pressure. Figure 102 shows a cubic stacking of isometric unit cells, as well as three other symmetries that result from stacking of the same isometric unit ceU in different directions. The different rates of growth of different faces are also shown in Figure 103 where a cube-...

The mineral CaF2 is known as fluorite, fluorspar, and Blue John. The ionic radii are rca + = 100 pm and fp- = 130pm, so Tca /rp- is -0.8. By Pauling s rules the ions should have CN = 8 and the F" ions should have CN = 4. Since the fluoride ions are larger, we should think of the structure as a simple cubic stacking of the F ions with the Ca ions filling every other cube interstice. However, you may remember the structure better by arranging the Ca ions on an fee...
