Figure 4
(a) Polyhedral model and (b) ball-and-stick model of the structure of the L phase viewed down the [] direction, the direction equivalent to the [001] direction in the high-temperature β′-Zn2V2O7 solid solution prototype thortveitite structure. In (a) the coordination polyhedra of the V atoms are green; those of the Zn and Mn atoms are light blue. In (b) O atoms are red, V atoms are green, and Zn and Mn atoms are light blue. The subscript p denotes the fact that the vector normal to [] and [010] is the projection of [101]; [101] actually makes an angle of 96° with []. |
