Abstract in another language

A description of the tilt of octahedra in \it ABX\sb 3 perovskite-related structures is proposed that can be used to extract the unique values for the tilt parameters ǎrphi, θ and δ of \it ABX\sb 3 structures with regular and distorted octahedra up to the point symmetry \bar 1, from atomic coordinates and lattice parameters. The geometry of the \it BX\sb 6 octahedron is described by three \it B—-\it X bond lengths (\it r\sb 1, \it r\sb 2, \it r\sb 3) and three \it X—-\it B—-\it X bond angles (ψ\sb 12, ψ\sb 13 and ψ\sb 23) or alternatively by a local strain tensor together with an average \it B—-\it X bond length. Connections between the proposed method and Glazer's tilt system are discussed. The method is used to analyze structural transformations of \it I2/\it c, \it Pbnm and \it Immm structures. The proposed description allows the analysis of group—subgroup relations for the \it ABX\sb 3 structures with distorted octahedra, in terms of octahedral deformations and tilting. The method might also be of interest in the study of the phase transitions in the family of \it ABX\sb 3 structures.
