Area of Science:

  • Crystallography and Materials Science
  • Solid-state Chemistry
  • Mineral Physics

Background:

  • The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) Release 2006/1 contains 155 entries classified under space group R3.
  • Previous analysis (Part I) of 81 structures identified new candidates for ferroelectricity and predicted symmetry transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the remaining 71 entries (54 structure types) in ICSD Release 2006/1 under space group R3.
  • To identify new inorganic materials satisfying structural criteria for ferroelectricity and predict potential symmetry transitions.

Main Methods:

  • Atomic coordinate analysis of crystal structures.
  • Classification of materials based on structural criteria for ferroelectricity and symmetry.
  • Comparison with known ferroelectric materials and predicted transitions.

Main Results:

  • Identified 11 new potential ferroelectric materials, including Al(4)B(6)O(15) and the LiZnPO(4) family.
  • Confirmed three known ferroelectrics (Na(3)MoO(3)F(3), Pb(2)ScTaO(6), RbTi(2)(PO(4))(3)) under pressure.
  • Predicted symmetry transitions to 3m or nonpolar states for numerous structure types, with varying confidence levels.

Conclusions:

  • Coordinate analysis of R3 space group structures reveals significant potential for new ferroelectric materials.
  • The study provides a comprehensive assessment of symmetry and property predictability for a large set of inorganic structures.
  • Methods for detecting symmetry elements can be advanced by applying coordinate analysis to overlooked features.
