Materials Data on MgAl10O16 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgAl10O16 is beta indium sulfide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 57–61°. There is three shorter (1.94 Å) and one longer (1.99 Å) Mg–O bond length. There are six inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–58°. There is three shorter (1.76 Å) and one longer (1.80 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgO4 tetrahedra, corners with five AlO4 tetrahedra, and edges with five AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.04 Å. In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–60°. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and three longer (1.86 Å) Al–O bond length. In the fourth Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2-more »
