The pyrochlore type of MgZrSi 2 O 7 was synthesized at 25 GPa and 1500° C using a Kawai-type, multi-anvil apparatus. Powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld analysis revealed that the phase assumed the pyrochlore structure (space group F d 3¯ m, cubic) with the lattice parameter a= 9.2883 (1) Å and the structural parameter x= 0.4295 (4). Chemical analysis by the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) confirmed the stoichiometry of MgZrSi 2 O 7. It was demonstrated that the eight-fold coordinated 16c site is randomly occupied by both Mg 2+ and Zr 4+ ions in a 1: 1 ratio. The high ionic radius ratio R A/R B (where A and B denote Mg+ Zr and Si, respectively) of 2.22 necessitates a relatively high pressure to stabilize the pyrochlore structure.
