Title: High pressure synthesis and structural evolution of new compounds of formulation NaNb /SUB 1-x/ W /SUB x/ O/sub 3/

Journal Article · · Mater. Res. Bull.; (United States)

Solid solutions of formula NaNb /SUB 1-x/ W /SUB x/ O/sub 3/ (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1) have have been prepared using a high pressure technique and their structural evolution observed as Nb/sup 5 +/ is substituted by W/sup 5 +/. Five phases with perovskite-related structures have been identified: two orthorhombic phases with space group Pbma (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.16 and 0.20 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.40), another orthorhombic phase whose b axis is approximately one quarter of the former (0.40 < x < 0.52) and two cubic phases (x approx. = 0.16 and 0.52 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 1). An attempt is made to correlate the complex evolution with x of the lattice parameters in the orthorhombic phases with the change of octahedron size and tilting angles.
