M. Wendschuhjosties et al., LATTICE AND OXYGEN PARAMETERS OF ZNGA2O4 AS A FUNCTION OF EQUILIBRATION TEMPERATURE, Neues Jahrbuch fur Mineralogie Monatshefte, (6), 1995, pp. 273-280
Single crystals of ZnGa2O4 spinel were synthesized by flux growth and
subsequently tempered at different temperatures between 600 degrees C
and 1200 degrees C (Delta T 100 degrees C). They were studied by X-ray
powder diffraction and single crystal structure analysis. The a(o) va
lues increase linearily with the equilibration temperature while the o
xygen parameters tend to decrease.
