β¦ Synopsis
Stoichiometric SrNbO 3 ; with a GdFeO 3 type structure was synthesized between 1300 and 15503C in Ar-5lled and sealed niobium ampoules. Its crystal structure was re5ned using time-of-6ight neutron di4raction data. Space group Pnma: a β«Ψβ¬ (2 ) a p β«Ψβ¬ 5.6894(2) A > ; b β«Ψβ¬ 2 ' a p β«Ψβ¬ 8.0684(1) A > ; c β«Ψβ¬ (2 ' a p β«Ψβ¬ 5.6944(2) A > ; R F 2 β«Ψβ¬ 0.020; and R P β«Ψβ¬ 0.034. High-resolution electron microscopy and electron di4raction studies frequently revealed structural defects in SrNbO 3 . X-ray and electron di4raction studies showed cubic symmetry for SrNbO 3 synthesized below 13003C and for compounds with nominal composition Sr 0.8 NbO 3 synthesized between 1200 and 15503C. SrNbO 3 was found to be temperature independently paramagnetic.
