Crystal structure and thermal behavior of Bi $$_6$$ 6 Te $$_2$$ 2 O $$_{15}$$ 15 : investigation of synthetic and natural pingguite
Physics and Chemistry of Minerals(2020)
摘要
The previously unknown crystal structure of pingguite was determined and refined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using a synthetic sample. Additional single crystal diffraction of natural pingguite confirms that the crystal structure of the synthetic sample is identical to the natural mineral. This new crystal structure calls for a revised chemistry of the rare mineral pingguite to Bi
$$_6$$
Te
$$_2$$
O
$$_{15}$$
instead of the previously reported formula Bi
$$_6$$
Te
$$_2$$
O
$$_{13}$$
. Pingguite contains Te
$$^\mathrm{VI}$$
only and not Te
$$^\mathrm{IV}$$
as previously reported. Pingguite undergoes an irreversible phase transition around 840
$$^{\circ }$$
C which is characterized by a loss of oxygen and a reduction from Te
$$^\mathrm{VI}$$
to Te
$$^\mathrm{IV}$$
resulting in a

like type structure. In addition, we report the Raman spectroscopic data on the natural pingguite.
