Superionic materials are a class of materials that simultaneously present properties that are characteristic of solids and ...

The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b ...
