The crystal structure of a
mineral with the stoichiometry (K0.58Ba0.36)2(Ti0.93FeIII0.06)6O13
has been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined by full-matrix least
squares to a residual of 0.076 for 1688 ?observed? reflections. Crystals are
monoclinic, C2/m, a = 15.453(2), b = 3.8368(7), c = 9.123(2) Ǻ,β = 99.25(1)�, Z = 2, and are isostructural
with the (Na,K,Rb)2Ti6O13
family. High-resolution electron microscopy has confirmed that the Ba and FeIII species
(the latter in a high-spin state) are randomly substituted for K and Ti
respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
