“…The lattice of LiFe 5 O 8 is disordered, though not completely random, at temperatures above 1000 K, and may be quenched in air down to room temperature, displaying spinel Fd3m structure, with Fe 3+ at tetrahedral (8a) Wyckoff's positions, and a 1:3 mixture of Li + and Fe 3+ ions at octahedral (16d) positions. Below 1000 K, the structure becomes 'ordered', and can be described by the cubic space group P4 3 32 or its enantiomorph P4 1 32, with Fe 3+ in tetrahedral (8c) and octahedral (12d) sites, whereas Li + ions occupy the (4b) octahedral positions [6,7]. Relations between the Fd3m and P4 3 32 Wyckoff's positions are as follows [6]:…”
