Abstract
The crystal structures of the double perovskites of the type Ba2−xSrxInTaO6 have been studied by synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction methods. The structures are based on ordered array of the tilted InO6 and TaO6 octahedra, with the Ba/Sr cations being completely disordered. The structure evolves from cubic to monoclinic Fm3¯m→x~0.6I4/m→x~1.2I2/m→x~1.6P21/n. The changes in the symmetry induced by replacing the Ba with Sr have been identified by a symmetry-mode analysis. Variable temperature S-XRD studies of selected examples have shown that heating the samples induces the same sequence of transitions observed in the composition dependent studies.
