Abstract

Crystallographic results on the Li4-3x(Al,Ga)xSiO4 solid solutions are reviewed. The six sets of sites available for Li+ ions fall into two groups. The ‘framework’ sites, which also contain the substitutional Al,Ga ions, appear to have little effect on conductivity. The ‘channel’sites contain varying amounts of Li+ ions and are responsible for the dramatic variations in conductivity with x. There is evidence for the presence of one—dimensional defects, comprising columns of ordered Li+ ions, in both the framework and channel sites. The relative numbers of these linear defects has a large bearing on the solid solution mechanism in the framework sites and their occurrence in the channel sites may be responsible for the low conductivity in stoichiometric Li4SiO4.
