Abstract
Upon consideration of the crystallographic features of pyrochlore-type compounds, the following two new conditions are proposed for the formation of a mixed cation type at the A site:Δd (A2+{single bond}OI) = d (A2+{single bond}OI) - (rA + rO) > 0 and Δd (A4+{single bond}OII) = d (A4+{single bond}OII) - (rA + rO) < 0. Applying these two conditions, three new compounds (Sr, Ce)2Sn2O7, (Cd,Ce)2Sn2O7, and (Ca,Ce)2Hf2O7, are synthesized. However, they are not phase-pure. Although these conditions are prerequisites, they will serve as a guide for designing new compounds of this structure.
