Structural Study on Ca0.6Sr0.4ZrO3

Abstract
Structural study on the compound Ca0.6Sr0.4ZrO3 has been carried out. The study reveals that it is not isomorphous with its parent compounds CaZrO3 and SrZrO3. It belongs to the space group Pmcn and the size of the unit cell is 2a p×√ 2b p×2√ 2c p. The tilt system of the BO6 octahedra is found to be compound and the octahedra are highly distorted. The A-ions are displaced along the [001] direction by about 0.134 Å and the displacements in adjacent layers are in the opposite directions.
