Title: Stabilization of a Metastable Fibrous Bi21.2(1)(Mn1–xCox )20 Phase with Pseudo-Pentagonal Symmetry Prepared Using a Bi Self-Flux

Abstract

Bi21.2(1)(Mn1–xCox )20 is a new metastable phase which is synthesized via Bi self-flux, adopts a highly fibrous morpholo-gy, and decomposes endothermically near 168 °C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Imma with unit cell parameters α = 19.067(4) Å, $$b$$ = 4.6071(10) Å and c = 11.583(4) Å, adopting a low-temperature modification of BiNi-type structure by forming columns along the b-axis. Wave-length-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDS) confirms the presence of Co in the structure, which is found to be 7 at.%. In each column, the transition metal (T) and Bi atoms construct a double-walled nanotubular arrangement of atoms around the disordered central Bi atoms. Electronic structure calculations (LMTO-ASA, LSDA) show that the calculated Fermi level falls into a pseudogap and also indicate a possible low-temperature magnetic ordering in the phase.
