Abstract

Structure determination, from room temperature X-Ray and neutron powder diffraction data, shows P 0.2VS 2 to be built from [SVS] layers of the CdI 2 type, with phosphorus atoms statistically occupying octahedral sites in the van der Waals'gap. A change in the magnetic susceptibility takes place at 40K. No magnetic ordering is observed on low temperature neutron powder diffraction spectra (60K and 5K), whereas calculations from neutron data preclude any sizeable change at transition temperature.
