A study of tungsten trioxide (WO3) by differential thermal analysis and x-ray diffraction at temperatures up to 980°C showed a new tetragonal form to exist at temperatures of 740°C and higher. This form has a distorted ReO3 structure. There are two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a0=5.25A, c0=3.91A. All atoms lie in the 2- or 4-fold special positions of the space group P4/nmm. The tungsten atoms are alternately displaced in opposite directions from the center of charge of the oxygen atoms so as to resemble the antiferroelectric structure proposed by Kittel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
