High-Temperature Phase Transititons in SrHfO3

Journal Article · · Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter
The crystal structure of SrHfO{sub 3} has been studied at high temperatures using powder neutron diffraction and the Rietveld method. From 300 K to approximately 670 K the structure of SrHfO{sub 3} is orthorhombic (Pnma). By 870 K the material adopts a second orthorhombic structure (Cmcm). The material then undergoes a further phase transition and is tetragonal (/4/mcm) from {approx}1000 to 1353 K. At higher temperatures (>1360 K) the structure is the ideal cubic perovskite (Pm3{sup -}m). The angle of rotation of the oxygen octahedron in the tetragonal phase is taken as the order parameter and its temperature variation is consistent with a second order phase transition.
