  • This is the ground state structure of the double perovskite Sr${_2}$MnTeO6. Above 250 °C, it transforms into the Sr2NiTeO6 structure. Above 550 °C it transforms into the Sr2NiWO6 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 $P21/n$ 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.

Simple Monoclinic primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \cos\beta \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + c \sin\beta \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \end{array} \]
