Title: Nanocheckerboard modulations in (NaNd)(MgW)O[subscript 6]

Data is presented for a complex structural and compositional modulation in the perovskite (NaNd)(MgW)O{sub 6}. This modulation creates a large 14a{sub p} x 14a{sub p} x 2a{sub p} supercell (a{sub p} {approx} 3.9 {angstrom} is the lattice parameter of the cubic perovskite aristotype) containing ordered regions with doubled (110) d-spacings in the a-b plane separated by two-dimensional periodic antiphase boundaries and accompanied by a nanocheckerboard pattern. Faint periodic modulations in Z-contrast images suggest an associated periodic variation in composition. The presence of a sodium rich impurity implies the composition of the stable perovskite is nonstoichiometric.
