New functional compounds AC3B4O12

The physical properties of AC₃B₄O₁₂-typeperovskites, whose structure originates from the simple ABO₃ perovskites are reviewed. The A position experiences strong structural distortions and splits into two new positions A and C. In AC₃B₄O₁₂ compounds the A position with icosahedral oxygen coordination can be occupied by vacancies and large radius cations irrespective of their charge state, i.e., Na⁺, Cd²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Y³⁺, Ln³⁺, An⁴⁺, or even remain empty. The C position with square oxygen coordination can be occupied only by Jahn–Teller cations like Cu²⁺ and Mn³⁺. The B position with octahedral oxygen coordination can be filled by transition and nontransition metals Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺, Al³⁺, Cr³⁺, Ti⁴⁺, Mn⁴⁺, Ge⁴⁺, Ru⁴⁺, Ir⁴⁺, Ta⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺, Ta⁵⁺, Sb⁵⁺. Some members of the distorted perovskites family possess properties typical of heavy fermion systems, the others demonstrate collinear and noncollinear magnetic structures with high temperatures of magnetic ordering, colossal magnetoresistance and/or high dielectric permittivity. A variety of compounds AC₃B₄O₁₂ and their unique properties make these materials interesting for practical applications.
