LiCoPO$_{4}$,  LiNiPO$_{4}$


  • LiZnPO$_{4}$ has been observed in a variety of structures. We list those which have know crystal structures:
  • (Jensen, 1995) find that the lithium site is 8\% zinc and the zinc site is 8\% lithium. They were apparently unaware of the work of (Harrison, 1995) (ICSD 79352), who reported a similar, albeit ordered, structure several months earlier.
  • (Villars, 2012) refers to this structure as $\delta_{1}$-LiZnPO$_{4}$.
  • Space group $Pna2_{1}$ #33 allows an arbitrary choice of the origin of the $z$-coordinates. We fix it by putting the zinc atom at $z_{7} = 0$.
