Abstract Single crystals of I RbCd4V3O12 and TlCd4V3O12 II have been prepared by solid state reactions in closed iron tubes. The compounds crystallize closely related to the Johillerite structure in the space group C62h- C2/c with I: a = 13.058(3); b - 13.528(3), c = 7 .0 6 0 (2 )Å , β = 114.88(2)°; II: a = 12.999(6), b = 13.527(7), c = 7.055(3) Å , β = 114.88(4)°, Z = 4. Special features are the loss of Cu2+ in order to gain an additional Cd2+ position. The crystal structure is discussed with respect to related compounds of the Johillerite type.

AbstractCeramics based on (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3 are promising candidates for actuator applications because of large strains generated by an electric field-induced phase transition. For example, the (1−x)(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-xSrTiO3 system exhibits a morphotropic phase boundary at x = 0.2–0.3, leading to high values of inverse piezoelectric constant d*33, which can be further improved by the use of single crystals. In our previous work, single crystals of (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 and (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 were grown by the solid state crystal growth technique. Growth in the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-SrTiO3 system was sluggish whereas the (Na1/2B1/2)TiO3-CaTiO3 single crystals grew well. In the present work, 0.8(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-0.2(Sr1−xCax)TiO3 single crystals (with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were produced by the solid state crystal growth technique in an attempt to improve crystal growth rate. The dependence of mean matrix grain size, single crystal growth distance, and electrical properties on the Ca concentration was investigated in detail. These investigations indicated that at x = 0.3 the matrix grain growth was suppressed and the driving force for single crystal growth was enhanced. Replacing Sr with Ca increased the shoulder temperature Ts and temperature of maximum relative permittivity Tmax, causing a decrease in inverse piezoelectric properties and a change from normal to incipient ferroelectric behavior.

To be able to study mass-limited samples and small single crystals, a triple resonance micro-magic angle spinning (μMAS) probehead for the application of high-resolution solid-state NMR of nanoliter samples was developed.

Single crystals of Ba2K2Te2O9(dibarium dipotassium nonaoxidoditellurate), (I), Ba2KNaTe2O9(dibarium potassium sodium nonaoxidoditellurate), (II), and Ba2CaTeO6(dibarium calcium hexaoxidotellurate), (III), were obtained from KNO3/KI or KNO3/NaNO3flux syntheses in platinum crucibles for (I) and (II), or porcelain crucibles for (III). (I) and (II) are isotypic and are members of triple perovskites with general formulaA2[12co]A′[12co]B2[6o]B′[6o]O9. They crystallize in the 6H-BaTiO3structure family in space-group typeP63/mmc, with theA,A′,BandB′ sites being occupied by K, Ba, Te and a second Ba in (I), and in (II) by mixed-occupied (Ba/K), Ba, Te and Na sites, respectively. (III) adopts theA2[12co]B′[6o]B′′[6o]O6double perovskite structure in space-group typeFm-3m, with Ba, Ca and Te located on theA,B′ andB′′sites, respectively. The current refinement of (III) is based on single-crystal X-ray data. It confirms the previous refinement from X-ray powder diffraction data [Fuet al.(2008).J. Solid State Chem.181, 2523–2529], but with higher precision.

Single crystals of Ba2Nb2TeO10) have been prepared by solid state reactions in air. X-ray investigations led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D152h-Pbca, a = 7.242(4), b = 12.433(3), c = 9.932(3) Å. Z = 4. Nb5+ and Te6+ show octahedral coordination by O2- . The crystal structure is characterized by planes of edge- and corner-sharing NbO6- and TeO6octahedra. It is shown that in spite of nearly identical lattice constants of Ba2Nb2TeO10 with compounds of the composition M0,5BaNbTe2O9 the so far unknown crystals of these substances may not be derived from the Ba2Nb2TeO10 type.
