Materials Data on Nd3Ti4O12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Nd3Ti4O12 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Nd+2.67+ sites. In the first Nd+2.67+ site, Nd+2.67+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.61 Å. In the second Nd+2.67+ site, Nd+2.67+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.45 Å) and four longer (2.71 Å) Nd–O bond lengths. In the third Nd+2.67+ site, Nd+2.67+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.77 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–30°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.04 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Nd+2.67+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nd+2.67+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Nd+2.67+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Nd+2.67+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Nd+2.67+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms.
