Reinvestigation of -Li₃TaO₄

D. du Boulay, A. Sakaguchi, K. Suda and N. Ishizawa

Abstract: The structure of -Li₃TaO₄ has been reinvestigated with an image plate diffractometer. It crystallizes with a cation-ordered, distorted rock-salt-type lattice structure, composed of distorted TaO₆ and LiO₆ octahedra. Some evidence of a superlattice was observed, but it had no impact on the established structural model.
