Physics:Corundum (structure)

From HandWiki

Corundum is the name for a structure prototype in inorganic solids, derived from the namesake polymorph of aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3).[1] Other compounds, especially among the inorganic solids, exist in corundum structure, either in ambient or other conditions. Corundum structures are associated with metal-insulator transition,[2] ferroelectricity,[3] polar magnetism,[4][5] and magnetoelectric effects.

Structure

The corundum structure has the space group R3c. It typically exists in binary compounds of the type A2B3, where A is metallic and B is nonmetallic, including sesquioxides (A2O3),[6] sesquisulfides (A2S3),[7] etc. When A is nonmetallic and B is metallic, the structure becomes the antiphase of corundum, called the anticorundum structure type,[8] with examples including β-Ca3N2[9] and borates. Ternary and multinary compounds can also exists in the corundum structure. The corundum-like structure with the composition A2BB'O6 is called double corundum.[4] A list of examples are tabulated below.

Crystal structure of corrundum. The unit cell contains 16 formulas R2W3 (R=red, W=white). Each red atom is surrounded by six white atoms, and each white by four red.
