Complementary octahedral layers present in the P3 GaAsO4 structure. (a) This layer corresponds to the cations at z ≃ 0.5 and is made up of 12-membered rings of [XO6] octahedra (X = As, Ga) sharing edges. (b) The cations of this layer are situated at z ≃ 0. The layer consists of groups of four [XO6] octahedra (X = As, Ga) in which a central [AsO6] octahedron shares edges with three adjacent [GaO6] octahedra. |
