Structure of Spinel

Abstract: This paper reviews the crystal structure of compounds with the general formula AB 2 X 4 , which crystallize with the same atomic structure as the mineral spinel, MgAl 2 O 4 . Three degrees of freedom associated with the detailed atomic arrangements of spinels are considered here: (i) the lattice parameter, a; (ii) the anion parameter, u; and (iii) the cation inversion parameter, i. Oxide spinels are used as examples to explore the interrelationships between these parameters.

“…67 Also, the chemical formula for spinel structured metal oxides can be denoted as A x B 3Àx O 4 (A, B = Co, Zn, Ni, Fe, Cu, Mn, etc.). The spinel structure consists of a cubic close-packed array of oxide ions, in which one-eighth of the tetrahedral sites and one half of the octahedral sites are occupied by cations.…”

“…The ions in the 2+ oxidation states, which are regularly located in the tetrahedral (T) sites, pass to the octahedral (M) ones that are normally occupied by the 3+ ions, and vice versa. 4 It is called a transition into an "inversion structure", which is followed by the changes in the structural-parameter values, like the oxygen parameter or the cation-anion distance in the T and M sites.…”

“…It is a cubic structure with space group symmetry Fd3m 6 . This elaborate crystallographic structure, which can accommodate significant cation disorder, has a unique perspective for studies of substitutions and their relations with the chemical and physical properties 7,8 . Spinel crystal structures can be divided into two types: normal (or direct) and inverse spinel.…”
