Abstract

Cry structures of $Na_xWO_3$ (0.5$\leq$x$\leq$1.0) were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies indicate that there is an ordering of sodium ions when x=0.75. The direction of ordering is [110] and the wavelength of ordering is twice of the interplanar distance of (110) plane. It has been confirmed that a superlattice containing eight $Na_{0.75}WO_3$ is the unit cell of ordered structure. In this unit cell, Na sites at (000) and ($\frac{2}{1}\frac{2}{1}\frac{2}{1}$) are vacant. The ordered phase was preserved after the annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ in the air. In reduced $Na_xWO_3$ with x=0.5 and 1.0, extra phases were found with the partially ordered perovskite phase. After annealing at $600^{\circ}C$, theses phases transformed to the phases found in calcined specimens.
