Bs. Bagautdinov et Im. Shmytko, DIFFRACTION EVIDENCE OF THE FORMATION OF DEFECT-DENSITY WAVES IN INCOMMENSURATE MODULATED STRUCTURES, JETP letters, 59(3), 1994, pp. 182-186
Diffraction evidence of the formation of defect-density waves in incom
mensurate modulated phases has been found for the first time by an x-r
ay method. The test samples were thiourea crystals. A new state of the
modulated structure is established. It is characterized by a superpos
ition of several modulation waves along a single crystallographic dire
ction.
