Description

The hexagonal close packed phase of cobalt (hcp-Co) is associated with numerous stacking faults while the face centered cubic phase of cobalt (fcc-Co) has considerably less stacking faults, as shown e.g. in [1]. Two domains of hcp-Co stacked one above the other with a stacking fault in between are usually delimited by a small interface region of a few fcc-Co layers as shown e.g. in [2,3]. The crystal structures of hcp-Co and fcc-Co should be considered together because the crystallites of these two phases are often clustered together in the same grains of cobalt. The gradual ferromagnetic spin reorientation in hcp-Co between 230 $^\circ$C and 330 $^\circ$C reported in [3] suggests that this phase could not have a hexagonal symmetry. This hypothesis is verified positively by synchrotron radiation and neutron powder diffraction [4]. The crystal structure of the hcp phase of cobalt is described by the monoclinic symmetry with the magnetic space group C2'/m'. In this monoclinic crystal structure the former hexagonal [001] axis is no longer perpendicular to the hexagonal layers. The monoclinic structure is an approximate description of the multitude of stacking faulted hcp-Co domains coexisting with fcc-Co domains.
