The crystal chemistry of MTO₄ compounds with the zicron, scheelite, and monazite structure types

The crystal structures of zircon, scheelite, and monazite are very closely related. All three have chains of alternating polyhedra and planes of closest packed or pseudo-closest packed cations. Using these similarities the unit cells of these structures can be placed in analogous orientations. This...
