Figure 3
Two views of the structure of Sr2YNbO6. YO6 and NbO6 are shown as the lighter and darker octahedra, the Y and Nb ions being visible within them, and the Sr ions are located in the cavities. The in-phase tilting is evident in the view down the c direction, [001] of the parent perovskite. The equal out-of-phase tilts along the other two directions of the parent structure combine to produce a tilting around the monoclinic b axis, corresponding to [10] in the parent structure. |
