Materials Data on ScFeO3 by Materials Project
ScFeO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sc–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.39 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–46°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.09 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–46°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.09 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sc3+ and two Fe3+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSc2Fe2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc3+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sc3+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms.
