Abstract
Abstract A study by convergent beam electron diffraction has been performed in order 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 our preceding study. In addition, an ‘axial’ glide plane (c) has been found 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 polarisation is discussed.
