Materials Data on Sr4Ti3O10 by Materials Project
Sr4Ti3O10 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.81 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.80 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six TiO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Ti–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with five TiO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.01 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to five equivalent Sr2+ and one Ti4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OSr5Ti octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Sr2+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Sr2+ and two Ti4+ atoms.
