Description

Solid solution of iron doped potassium strontium niobate with KSr2(FeNb4)O15-δ stoichiometry was prepared by high efficiency ball milling method. Structural characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction. Crystalline structure was analyzed by the Rietveld refinements using the FullProf software. The results showed a tetragonal system with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure - TTB (a = 12.4631 (2) A and c = 3.9322 (6) A, V = 610.78 (2) A3). In this work, the sites occupancy by the K+, Sr2+ and Fe3+ cations on the TTB structure were determined. NbO6 polyhedra distortion and its correlation with the theoretical polarization are discussed.
