We demonstrate a new modulation for a high-temperature polymorph of BaSrFe4O8 via synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments. Although the powder X-ray diffraction pattern was successfully analyzed using a structure model of space group Pnna, an unusually large isotropic atomic displacement parameter (Uiso) was observed for the O1 atom. A split atom model that was applied to the O1 site and the adjacent Ba/Sr site, both of which are on the two-fold axis along the c-axis, indicated that positional disorder occurred in these atoms along the c-axis. The electron diffraction pattern and high-resolution TEM observations combined with the structure refinements revealed an incommensurate structure with a modulation vector q=0.4270(1)a* and a displacement vector perpendicular to the a-axis, which gave rise to the large Uiso value of the O1 atom. The modulation observed in this study may be a signature of structural instability, which has commonly been discussed in the stuffed tridymite (cas 15468-32-3)-type oxides.
