Structural characterization by x-ray diffractions for NbTe4. (a,b) The basic crystal structure of NbTe4 projected along the [010] (a) and [001] (b) directions. (c) The red solid circles represent equidistant Nb ions on the axis of a single column of the basic structure; the arrows show the displacements and resultant trimerizations of the Nb ions in the commensurate phase. (d) XRD structure characterization of a NbTe4 single crystal. Only (0 l 0) peaks can be observed. The inset: The enlarged XRD curve of (030) peak. (e) A typical crystal of NbTe4, with crystallographic directions marked.
