A second infinite-chain form of zirconium diiodide (.beta.) and its coherent intergrowth with .alpha.-zirconium diiodide

Abstract

By a pseudopotential method, the perturbation of the outer electronic s and p levels of Cu, Ag, and Au atoms by a Ne matrix is calculated. It is concluded that for Cu and Au the trapping site consists of three vacancies. Two sites of three and four vacancies give the two different "triplets" in the absorption spectrum of Ag.
