Structural Chemistry of Alkaline Earth Hexa-Aluminates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
Computer-based atomistic simulation techniques have been used to investigate the crystal chemistry and phase relationships in alkaline earth hexa-aluminates. The lattice energies for hexa-aluminate-related structural models are calculated and successfully predict that barium prefers the β-alumina-type structures with charge-balancing defects, whilst calcium or strontium prefers the ideal magnetoplumbite structure. In the case of magnesium, it is predicted that it does not prefer a hexa-aluminate structure.
