The Fluorite-Like Phase NdMoO in the MoO-NdO System: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Conducting Properties.

This paper describes a study of the system MoO-NdO using a combination of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), neutron powder diffraction (NPD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and ac impedance spectroscopy (IS). A phase-pure material is observed at a composition of 45.5 mol % NdO, which corresponds to an ideal stoichiometry of NdMoO.

Local structural properties of 0.5BiMnO3-0.5ATiO3 (A = Ba or Sr).

Neutron total scattering data have been used to probe the long- and short-range structure of 0.5BiMnO(3)-0.5ATiO(3) (A = Ba or Sr).

Neutron total scattering study of the delta and beta phases of Bi2O3.

The highly disordered structure of the delta phase of Bi2O3, which possesses the highest known oxide-ion conductivity, has been studied using neutron powder diffraction. A detailed analysis of data collected at 1033(3) K using Rietveld refinement indicates that the time-averaged structure of delta-Bi2O3 can be described using the accepted model of a disordered, anion-deficient fluorite structure in space group Fm3m. However, reverse Monte Carlo modelling of the total (Bragg plus diffuse) scattering demonstrates that the local anion environment around the Bi3+ resembles the distorted square pyramidal arrangement found within the stable alpha and metastable beta phases at ambient temperature, which is characteristic of the cation's 6s2 lone-pair configuration.
