“…Recent studies of KOs 2 O 6 with the pyrochlore structure have concluded that K is in the 8b site, but that it shows anharmonicity along the 111 direction. 20,21 However, these studies of KOs 2 O 6 did not actually provide a refinement of the ADPs of the K atom, and apparently there has never been a refinement of ADPs of an A cation for a AM 2 O 6 composition with the pyrochlore structure. Anharmonic thermal motion has been well studied for ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, and GaP.…”
