title: New stacking variant of Laves phase found in (Ti0.95 V0.05) Co2 alloy.
abstract: Microstructures of the Laves phase alloy, (Ti0.95 V0.05) Co2, were studied by high resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction. In this alloy system, coexistence of several kinds of layered structures was observed. Among these structures, a new stacking variant was found and was analyzed to be ABCAB'A'C'BCA'C'B'. This structure belongs to the trigonal system of the space group P3m1 (no. 164). The lattice parameters presented in the hexagonal system are a = 0.4727 +/- 0.0009 nm and c = 4.628 +/- 0.008 nm. This structure is called 12T in the Ramsdell notation and 4323 in the Zhdanov symbol, and is classified into hP3m1-(6i)5(3f)(3e)(2d)12(2c)6 using the Wyckoff notation.
