AbstractThe local structure of the rhombic Cu2+ center in Cu0.5Zr2(PO4)3 phosphate is investigated by using the high-order perturbation formulas of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters, g-factors gi (i=x, y, z), and hyperfine structure constants Ai for 3d9 ions in rhombically elongated octahedral symmetry. According to the studies, the local axial distortion angle Δα (≈ 5.1°) and the planar bond angle θ (≈ 83.8°) in [CuO6]10- cluster was obtained. The theoretical EPR parameters based on the aforementioned local structure parameters show good agreement with the observed values, and some improvement have been made as compared with the previous studies.

The EPR parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors g‖ and g⊥) and the local structure for the tetragonal Fe+ center in KTaO3 are theoretically studied by using the perturbation formulas of the EPR parameters for a 3d7 ion in tetragonally distorted dodecahedra. Based on these studies, we find that the impurity Fe+ may not locate on the regular dodecahedral K+ site but suffer a large off-center displacement ΔZ (≈ 0.43 Å) along one of the 100 〈or C4〉 axes, which is responsible for the large tetragonal distortion of the impurity center. The displacement ΔZ obtained in this work is comparable with that (≈ 0.46 Å ) of a similar monovalent Li+ on K+ site of KTaO3 obtained from the nuclear quadrupole shift and can be regarded as reasonable. The calculated g factors, particularly the anisotropy Δg (= Kg⊥ −g‖) based on the above displacement, agree with the observed values.

The structure of β-Cs3(HSO4)2[H2−x (S x P1−x )O4] has been examined by single-crystal neutron diffraction at 15 K. The compound crystallizes in space group C2/c and contains four formula units in the unit cell, with lattice parameters a = 19.769 (9), b = 7.685 (2), c = 8.858 (3) Å and β = 100.60 (4)°. Refinement of P, S and H site occupancies indicated that the value of x (in the stoichiometry) is 0.500 (6). This, together with the unit-cell volume of 1322.8 (14) Å3, implies a density of 3.463 Mg m−3. The structure contains zigzag rows of XO4 anions, where X = P or S, that alternate, in a checkerboard fashion, with zigzag rows of Cs cations. Moreover, there is one proton site, H(3), with an occupancy of 0.25 and one X-atom site, X(1), that is occupied by 0.5 P and 0.5 S. These features are in general agreement with a previous X-ray structure determination carried out at 298 K. In contrast to the X-ray study, however, it was found that two different structural models adequately fit the diffraction data. In the first model, the proton vacancies and the P atoms were assumed to be randomly distributed over the H(3) and X(1) sites, respectively, and to have no impact on the local structure. In the second model, several atoms were assigned split occupancies over two neighboring sites, to reflect the presence or absence of a proton vacancy, and the presence of P or S on the X(1) site. Refinement assuming the first model, in which anisotropic displacement parameters for 12 of 14 atom sites in the asymmetric unit were employed, yielded residuals w R(F 2) = 0.084 and w R(F) = 0.038. For the second model, in which anisotropic displacement parameters were utilized for only the five atoms that were not split relative to the first model, the residuals were w R(F 2) = 0.081 and w R(F) = 0.036.
