Materials Data on NaErTi2O6 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaErTi2O6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.69 Å. Er3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Er–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.68 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 22–38°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.10 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Er3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, two equivalent Er3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one Na1+, one Er3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Er3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms.
