Materials Data on Tb2Zr8O19 by Materials Project
Tb2Zr8O19 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tb–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.33 Å. There are four inequivalent Zr4+ sites. In the first Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.31 Å. In the second Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.31 Å. In the third Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.29 Å. In the fourth Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.26 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form OZr4 tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OZr4 tetrahedra and edges with six OTb2Zr2 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Tb3+ and two equivalent Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OTb2Zr2 tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Tb3+ atoms to form OTb4 tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OTb4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent OTb2Zr2 tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Tb3+ and two equivalent Zr4+ atoms to form OTb2Zr2 tetrahedra that share corners with fourteen OTb4 tetrahedra and edges with five OZr4 tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Zr4+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OZr4 tetrahedra.
