摘要
Twelve members of the Ho2-yNdyZr2O7 series, prepared using conventional solid state methods, have been characterised by neutron powder diffraction. Ho2Zr2O7 has a defect fluorite structure whereas Nd2Zr2O7 is found to adopt the ordered pyrochlore structure with the composition induced fluorite-pyrochlore transformation occurring near y=1. Rietveld analysis on the neutron data for all the compositions reveals an increase in lattice parameter as a function of y across the entire series, with a small discontinuity associated with the transformation. The neutron profile results suggest that domains of pyrochlore-type initially begin to form before crystallising into a separate phase, and therefore that anion and cation ordering processes are distinct. There is a strong correlation between the extent of disorder in the anion sublattice and the x-parameter of 48f oxygen. These results point the way to a better understanding of the stability observed in pyrochlore structures. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
