摘要
We report the structural parameters of superconducting MgCxNi3 (x = 0.96, T-c = 7.3 K) as a function of temperature, from 2 to 295 K, determined by neutron powder diffraction profile refinement. The compound has the perovskite structure over the whole temperature range, with symmetry Pm (3) over barm and a = 3.81221(5) Angstrom at 295 K: no structural or long range magnetic ordering transitions were observed. The lattice parameter a and tho Debye-Waller factors for the individual atoms decrease smoothly with decreasing temperature. There are no unusual changes of the structural parameters near T-c.
