Lanthanum gallium silicateLanthanum gallium silicate (refer to as LGS in the article), also known as langasite, has a chemical formula of A3BC3D2O14, where A, B, C and D indicate particular cation sites. A is a decahedral (Thomson cube) site coordinated by 8 oxygen atoms. B is octahedral site coordinated by 6 oxygen atoms, and C and D are tetrahedral sites coordinated by 4 oxygen atoms. In this material, lanthanum occupied the A-sites, gallium the B, C and half of D-sites, and, silicon the other half of D-sites. The crystal structure is shown below: Additional recommended knowledge
