Abstract
The structure of Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the space group Cmcm. The metal ion sublattice resembles some of the Zn ions in the wurtzite ZnO structure. The oxygen ion sublattice in Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) also resembles some of the O ions in ZnO. Structural relationships between Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) and ZnO are discussed, illustrating the process for obtaining the centrosymmetric Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6) structure from the noncentrosymmetric ZnO. Structures of phases in the homologous series Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(m) are predicted on the basis of the structural data for Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6). The structures of even m are constructed by simply extending the structure units seen in Ga(2)O(3)(ZnO)(6), while those of odd m consist of structure units which are of different types from those used for even m.
