  • This is the ground state structure of the double perovskite Sr$_{2}$MnTeO$_{6}$. Above 250°C it transforms into the Sr$_{2}$NiTeO$_{6}$ structure. Above 550°C it transforms into the Sr$_{2}$NiWO$_{6}$ structure, and above 675°C it transforms into the cubic perovskite $E2_{1}$ structure. (Ortega-San Martin, 2004).
  • (Ortega-San Martin, 2004) give the structure in the $P2_{1}/n$ setting of space group #14. We used findsym to transform this to the standard $P2_{1}/c$ setting, which uses a different set of basis vectors.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \cos{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+c \sin{\beta} \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
