Structure field map
Structure field maps (SFMs) are visualizations of the relationship between ionic radii and crystal structures for classes of materials. First introduced in 1954 by MacKenzie L. Keith and Rustum Roy for the oxide perovskites of the chemical formula ABO3,[1] it was later popularized by a compiled handbook written by Olaf Muller and Rustum Roy, published in 1974 that included many more known materials.[2][3]
A structure field map is typically two-dimensional, although higher dimensional versions are feasible. The axes in an SFM are the ionic sequences. For example, in oxide perovskites ABO3, where A and B represent two metallic cations, the two axes are ionic radii of the A-site and B-site cations.
