Structural stability and structure evolution of Er2(Ti,Zr)2O7 and Lu2(Ti,Zr)2O7 oxides
The rare-earth oxides of the general formula A2B2O7 are of great interest to the condensed matter community for their application potential. Significant effort has been dedicated to finding materials with improved thermomechanical properties and higher ionic conductivity, both tightly related to details of their crystal structure. The present experiment is directed at the evolution of the crystal structure in two series of solid solutions from the A2B2O7 family, thoroughly investigated by our recent neutron diffraction and X-ray and neutron pair distribution function, through a set of structural transitions at high temperature. We expect thermally activated structural changes, that is, temperature-induced disorder on the oxygen anion (as well as cation) sites, which can be effectively studied by neutron diffraction. The proposed experiment on the D1B diffractometer is to reveal the details of structure of these application important materials.
