Questions And Answer

• Uses

  Scandium Oxide is applied in optical coating, catalyst, electronic ceramics and laser industry. It is also used annually in making high-intensity discharge lamps. A high melting white solid used in high-temperature systems (for its resistance to heat and thermal shock), electronic ceramics, and glass composition. Suitable for vacuum deposition applications. ;

• Structure

  Sc₂O₃ (Scandium oxide) is a Corundum-like structure and crystallizes in the cubic Ia̅3 space group. There are two inequivalent Sc³⁺ sites. In the first Sc³⁺ site, Sc³⁺ is bonded to six equivalent O²⁻ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ScO₆ octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. All Sc-O bond lengths are 2.12 Å. In the second Sc³⁺ site, Sc³⁺ is bonded to six equivalent O²⁻ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ScO₆ octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 53-54°. There is a spread of Sc-O bond distances ranging from 2.09-2.17 Å. O²⁻ is bonded to four Sc³⁺ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OSc₄ trigonal pyramids. ;
