“…In the Fe-O system, iron monoxide or wiistite shows a particularly large deviation from stoichio-0108-7681/91/030333-05503.00 metry and a complex behavior under equilibrium conditions at high temperature (Vallet & Carel, 1989). This is why many previous structural studies (Koch & Cohen, 1969;Cheetham, Fender & Taylor, 1971;Catlow & Fender, 1975;Gavarri, Carel & Weigel, 1979;Gavarri, Carel, Jasienska & Janowski, 1981;Gartstein, Mason & Cohen, 1986) have been performed on this material at high temperature or after quenching.…”
