Misfit-layered compound PbTiS3 with incommensurate modulation：Transmission electron microscopy analysis and transport properties

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/11/116102

Abstract The microstructural characteristic of the misfit-layered compound PbTiS₃ has been studied with transmission electron microscopy. All the incommensurate modulation-induced satellite spots and main diffraction spots of basic sublattices can be indexed systematically with a superspace group method. Finally, the relationship between the electronic transport properties and the crystal structure is discussed.
