Effect of manganese doping on vibrational and physical properties of ZrTe3O8

摘要

The powder sample of xMnO(2)-(1-x) ZrTe3O8 (x = 7%) was prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction showed that the compound crystallized at room temperature in the cubic fluorite structure (in a cubic unit-cell Ia (3) over bar as MTe3O8-type framework) with lattice parameter a = 11.3298(2) angstrom. The structure was built up of TeO4E (E = Electronic lone pair of Te(IV)) disphnoids and regular ZrO6 octahedra. The crystal structure cohesion was ensured via Te-O(2)-Zr and Te-O(1)-Te bridges.
