Atomic order in the spinel structure - a group-theoretical analysis
1South Russia State Technical University (Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute), 346400, Novocherkassk, Russia.
Abstract:
Group-theoretical methods of the Landau theory of phase transitions are used to investigate the structures of ordered spinels. The possibility of the existence is determined of 305 phases with different types of order in Wyckoff position 8a (including seven binary and seven ternary cation substructures), 537 phases in Wyckoff position 16d (including eight binary and 11 ternary cation substructures), 595 phases in Wyckoff position 32e (including seven binary and four ternary anion substructures) and 549 phases with simultaneous ordering in Wyckoff positions 8a and 16d (including five substructures with binary order in tetrahedral and octahedral sublattices, two substructures with ternary order in both spinel sublattices, and nine substructures with different combined types of binary and ternary order). Theoretical results and experimental data are compared. Calculated structures of the spread types of ordered low-symmetry spinel modifications are given.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
