Perspectives on Pyrochlores, Defect Fluorites, and Related Compounds: Building Blocks for Chemical Diversity and Functionality
In this article we provide some perspectives on a range of pyrochlore and defect fluorite type compounds with nominal A2B2O7, A2BO5, ABC2O7, and other stoichiometries.Typically, the phase transformations and stability fields in these systems are mapped as a function of the ionic radii of the A and B-site cations, e.g., the A/B cation radius ratio (
