Abstract

A study by convergent beam electron diffraction was performed to clarify the symmetry of the phase III of Pb2CoWO6. Microdiffractions with higher-order Laue zone on monodomain areas have confirmed the cell proposed in a preceding study. In addn., an axial glide plane (c) is normal to the b-axis. In the conditions of observation, the convergent beam electron diffraction patterns lead to an apparent point group mmm. No breakdown of a mirror symmetry could be found. The discrepancy between this result and the existence of a spontaneous polarization is discussed.
