Stacking Ordering in K-Graphite Intercalation Compounds (Stager 1–8)

Description

The stacking order of graphite and K-layers in K-graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) has been studied by in situ X-ray diffraction measurements. The stacking sequence of graphite layers for stage n=2−8 is described as |(AB)n⁄2|(BC)n⁄2|(CA)n⁄2| for even-numbered stage, and |A(BA)(n−1)⁄2|A(CA)(n−1)⁄2| for odd-numbered stage, where the vertical line denotes a K-layer, and A, B and C the stackings of graphite layers. The long range ordering of the stacking sequence can be interpreted by a stacking change model for stage transition. Stacking faults, which are remarkable in stage 2, can be understood as a consequence of stage transition in the proposed model. Two solid phases of different K-layer stackings, αβ and αβγδ, have been observed in stage 1 at elevated temperatures.
