Popis: Structures of magnetoplumbite-type crystals Sr M 12 O 19 ( M = Al, Fe, Ga) have been refined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The space group is P 6 3 / mmc with Z = 2. The cell dimensions are a = 5.5666(2) and c = 22.0018(8) A for SrAl 12 O 19 , a = 5.8836(1) and c = 23.0376(9)A for SrFe 12 O 19 , and a = 5.7929(1) and c = 22.8123(7) A for SrGa 12 O 19 at 22°C. Four structural models were tested with respect to the states of M atoms at trigonal bipyramidal sites: central atom and split atom models with and without anharmonic thermal vibrations. The simple split atom model gave lower R w values than the central atom model with anharmonic thermal vibrations for SrAl 12 O 19 and SrGa 12 O 19 , whereas it gave an R w value approximately equal to that given by the central atom model with anharmonic vibration for SrFe 12 O 19 . The present study suggested that the potential around the M atom with trigonal bipyramidal coordination has double minima in all the magnetoplumbite-type crystals at lower temperatures.
