Materials Data on LiGaO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiGaO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent GaO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.17 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. All Ga–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Ga3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
