摘要: This paper reports on the results of accurate X-ray structural investigations single crystals La3Ta0.5Ga5.5O14 (a = 8.2260(1) A, c 5.1207(1) R/Rw 1.09%/1.10%, 3868 unique reflections) and La3Nb0.5Ga5.5O14 8.2237(1) 5.1247(1) 1.02%/1.03%, 3735 (space group P321, Z 1, sinϑ/λ|max ≈ 1.34 A−1 for both compounds). Using sets data with a large number high-angle reflections makes it possible to reliably compare crystal structures by applying statistical tests. The differences between are weakly pronounced, which correlates closeness their piezoelectric characteristics.
