abstract = {Pyrrhotites, characterized by the chemical formula
Fe1–δS (0 < δ ≤ 1/8), represent an extended group of
minerals that are derived from the NiAs-type FeS aristotype.
They contain layered arrangements of ordered Fe vacancies,
which are at the origin of the various magnetic signals
registered from certain natural rocks and can act as
efficient electrocatalysts in oxygen evolution reactions in
ultrathin form. Despite extensive studies over the past
century, the local structural details of pyrrhotite
superstructures formed by different arrangements of Fe
vacancies remain unclear, in particular at the atomic scale.
Here, atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark-field
imaging and nanobeam electron diffraction in the scanning
transmission electron microscope are used to study natural
pyrrhotite samples that contain commensurate 4C and
incommensurate 4.91 ± 0.02C constituents. Local
measurements of both the intensities and the picometer-scale
shifts of individual Fe atomic columns are shown to be
consistent with a model for the structure of 4C pyrrhotite,
which was derived using X-ray diffraction by Tokonami et al.
(1972). In 4.91 ± 0.02C pyrrhotite, 5C-like unequally sized
nano-regions are found to join at anti-phase-like
boundaries, leading to the incommensurability observed in
the present pyrrhotite sample. This conclusion is supported
by computer simulations. The local magnetic properties of
each phase are inferred from the measurements. A discussion
of perspectives for the quantitative counting of Fe
vacancies at the atomic scale is presented.},
