Abstract
The crystal structure of β-CuI at 400°C has been refined from powder crystal X-ray diffraction data. The crystal belongs to the trigonal system with the space group C 1 3v -P3m1, and has lattice constants of a =4.279±0.002 A, c =7.168±0.007 A. The low temperature phase of solid electrolytes is often of tetrahedral structure such as zinc-blende or wurtzite. The structure of the β-CuI includes the ordered arrangement of Cu + ions surrounded by tetrahedra of I - ions.

On the Phase Transition in Cuprous Iodide

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transition and crystal structures of cuprous iodide (CuI) have been studied by the X-ray and calorimetric measurement two phase transitions at 369°C and 407°C were found and the corresponding energy and entropy changes were estimated from the specific heattemperature curve.

Crystal structure of high-temperature cuprous iodide and cuprous bromide

TL;DR: In this article, the crystal sturcture of the high temperature modifications have been determined be elastic neutron scattering experiments on powdered samples, which can be summarized as follows: on the basis of these structural data, the different behavior of the ionic conductivity of CuI and CuBr at high temperature can be understood.

Distribution and anharmonic thermal vibration of cations in α-AgI

TL;DR: In this paper, the cation distribution in the superionic conductor α-AgI has been re-examined using neutron as well as X-ray diffraction data, and a least squares analysis shows that the experimental data are very well explained by a structure model in which two silver ions are distributed over 12(d) sites of the space group Im3m with large asymmetric anharmonic thermal vibrations.

Note on the Phase Transition in CuI

TL;DR: In this article, the α-β-γ transitions observed in CuI are interpreted in terms of anharmonic oscillation of Cu ion, and strong temperature dependence of the Debye-Waller factor and large anomalous entropy are correlated consistently within the proposed model.
