Abstract

Atomic pair distribution function analysis has demonstrated displacements of Tl and O atoms within the Tl-O layers with shortrange ordering of lower symmetry than the crystallographic lattice. Two models have been proposed for these displacements. Rietveld analysis neither confirms nor contradicts these models. Temperature-dependent PDF measurements show changes in local structure correlating with temperature.
