30. As noted previously (Ref. 23), this sequence of reflections does not unambiguously identify an Fm3m structure. It could also be obtained from the Ia3d cubic phase, for example. Nevertheless, considering the absence of the √7/3 reflection that would be anticipated from the latter phase, and the overwhelming evidence from light scattering experiments for a micellar phase, we are confident of the assignment to a fcc structure.
