Materials Data on CaAl12O19 by Materials Project
Abstract
CaAl12O19 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form CaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent AlO5 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.72 Å) and six longer (2.81 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are five inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form AlO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve AlO6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–61°. There is three shorter (1.77 Å) and two longer (2.21 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.90 Å. In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent AlO5 trigonal bipyramids, faces with three equivalent CaO12 cuboctahedra,more »
