Materials Data on HfZrO4 by Materials Project
HfZrO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hf4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form HfO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent HfO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ZrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–51°. There are a spread of Hf–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.11 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent HfO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ZrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent HfO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Hf4+ and one Zr4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Hf4+ and two equivalent Zr4+ atoms.
