Abstract The structures of the equiatomic stannides RERhSn with the smaller rare earth elements Y, Gd-Tm and Lu were reinvestigated on the basis of temperature-dependent single crystal X-ray diffraction data. GdRhSn crystallizes with the aristotype ZrNiAl at 293 and 90 K. For RE = Y, Tb, Ho and Er the HP-CeRuSn type (approximant with space group R3m) is already formed at room temperature, while DyRhSn adopts the HP-CeRuSn type below 280 K. TmRhSn and LuRhSn show incommensurate modulated variants with superspace groups P31m(1/3; 1/3; γ) 000 (No. 157.1.23.1) (γ = 3/8 for TmRhSn and γ = 2/5 for LuRhSn). The driving force for superstructure formation (modulation) is a strengthening of Rh–Sn bonding. The modulation is expressed in a 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum of DyRhSn at 78 K through line broadening.

Distinct Temperature

Lead Hafnate undergoes two structural phase transitions as a function of temperature. The first occurs at about 1630C, consisting of a transition from an antiferroelectric orthorhombic Pbam structure [1] to another antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase with an as-yet undetermined space group. The second is to a paraelectric cubic Pm3m structure at 2090C. Dielectric spectroscopy measurements on a single crystal have shown a distinct temperature hysteresis at the orthorhombic to orthorhombic transition [2]. Recently, dielectric measurements on a ceramic sample have shown a much larger temperature hysteresis and following x-ray diffraction measurements, it is suggested that the second orthorhombic phase is in space group A2mm and undergoes another transition to a tetragonal P4mm structure before the cubic transition [3]. We report on the results of an investigation of a PbHfO3crystal using a combination of high-resolution x-ray diffraction and birefringence imaging measurements with the Metripol system. These measurements have been performed as a function of temperature from the room-temperature orthorhombic structure to the high-temperature cubic structure. The results are discussed both in the context of the published work and fundamental understanding of the origin of antiferroelectricity.
