Abstract
THALLIUM at room temperature has a close–packed hexagonal structure, but this transforms at 230° C. into another structure which is given in the literature as face–centred cubic. This is based on the work of Sekito1, who used specimens quenched from the melt and specimens containing other elements; his results cannot therefore be considered decisive, particularly since he does not give the purity of his materials.
