Abstract

High resolution neutron time-of-flight powder diffraction has been used to determine the crystal structure of solid iodine as a function of temperature. The results show the structure is orthorhombic, space group Cmca, and is isomorphous with the solid halogens, bromine and chlorine. The observed structural trends are discussed.
