Abstract

Structure D 2000Synthesis and Crystal Structures of InGaO3(ZnO)m (m = 2 and 3). -The title compounds are synthesized from appropriate amounts of In 2 O 3 , Ga 2 O 3 , and ZnO (Pt tubes, 1623 K, 6 d). Single crystals of InGaO3(ZnO)2 are prepared using K2MoO4 as a flux. This compound crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63/mmc with Z = 2. The structure consists of alternately stacked ] CdI2-type and ] wurtzite-type structural motifs. InGaO3(ZnO)3 crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3m with Z = 3 (powder XRD) with a structure similar to that of the m = 2 compound.
