Abstract

We report here on the observation of superlattice reflections in the new quasi-one-dimensional spin system TiOBr by electron and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffractions. We discussed on crystal symmetry and temperature dependence of superlattice reflections. Superlattice reflections can be observed at ( h, k + frac(1, 2), 0) below T_{c 1} and ( h ± δ_h, k ± δ_k, 0) above T_{c 1}; ( h + k = 2 n ). We discussed the origin of two phase transitions, T_{c 1} ( = 27 K ) and T_{c 2} ( = 47 K ) in TiOBr.
