Fig. 5: Crystal structure of LiVO2.
From: Direct observation of V-trimers in the crystal structure of LiVO2
The crystal structure model used in the refinement of the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of LiVO2. Green/blue/gray spheres denote vanadium, oxygen, and lithium ions; the yellow spheres indicate vanadium sites within a split-atom model that are occupied with 28.1(8)% probability. The vanadium trimers involving V3 are indicated by thick solid lines and the alternative trimers involving the V3' ions are denoted by thick dashed lines. a Crystal structure with viewing direction parallel to the vanadium oxide layers A, A', B, B', C, and C'. b Visualization of how the trimers in vanadium oxide layers A, B & C are stacked in c-direction. c Visualization of how the trimers in vanadium oxide layers A', B' & C' are stacked in c-direction.
