Abstract

The structural properties of the TiO2 - NbO2 solid solution have been investigated experimentally by the time—oi—flight neutron diffraction method. It is found that 1) the position parameter for oxygen ions decreases linearly with increasing Nb concentration, 2) the four short metal—oxygen distances increaselinearly with increasing Nb concentration, while the two long distances remain constant,3) the metal—oxygen—metal bond angle,α, exhibits a noticeable deviation from that found in rutile at low Nb concentration, 4) Nb4+ occupy both rgular cation and octahedral interstitial sites at low Nb concentration, but Ti44 ions are increasingly squeezed out from the regular cation sites to octahedral and tetrahedral interstitial sites at Nb concentrations higher than 30 mole%.
