H. Takeda et al., CRYSTAL-GROWTH AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL LA3TA0.5GA5.5O14, JPN J A P 2, 36(7B), 1997, pp. 919-921
New piezoelectric La3Ta0.5Ga5.5O14 bulk single crystals were grown usi
ng the Czochralski technique. The crystal structure (space group P321,
a = 8.228(2), c = 5.124(2) Angstrom) has been refined using single-cr
ystal X-ray diffraction data with a precision corresponding to an R in
dex of 0.04. Ta atoms were found to be ordered in the octahedral site
coordinated by six oxygen atoms.
