The oxide series La2−xSrxCoTiO6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) belong to the perovskite family with general formula ABO3. The evolution of the room-temperature structure as a function of the Sr content was studied using complementary techniques by applying the symmetry-adapted modes formalism (AMPLIMODES). In the compositional range presented in this article (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5), the compounds adopt distorted perovskite structures of monoclinic (space group P21/n) or orthorhombic (space group Pnma) symmetry, both with octahedral tilting scheme (aac+) (out of phase along two perovskite main directions and in phase along the third direction). The main difference between these structures is the existence of rock-salt order of B ions in the monoclinic symmetry, which is lost for x ≥ 0.30. As the Sr content increases, a better matching of the A—O and B—O distances occurs. This is produced by an elongation of the A—O distance as La3+ is replaced by the larger ion Sr2+, and the shortening of the B—O distance due to the oxidation of Co2+ to Co3+ induced by the aliovalent substitution. As a result, the cuboctahedral A-site cavity becomes less and less distorted; the A ion tends to occupy its ideal positions, increasing its coordination and giving rise to a more symmetrical structure. In the whole compositional range, the symmetry-adapted atomic displacements (modes) responsible for the out-of-phase tilting of the BO6 octahedra remain active but those associated with the in-phase tilting become negligible, anticipating for x ≥ 0.6 a transition to a new structure with tilting scheme either (a0a0c) (space group I4/mcm) or (aaa0) (space group Imma) or (aaa) (space group R\overline 3c).

Comment top

Symmetry-adapted Rietveld refinement is a powerfull tool to understand the physical mechanism which stabilize a certain structured derived from a high simmetry parent structure within displazative-type phase transitions.

Experimental top

Samples of compositions La2-xSrxCoTiO6 (0=x=0.5) were prepared by a modified Peccini method. About 10 grams of each sample was prepared solving stoichiometric amounts of high purity Co(CH3COO)2·4H2O (Aldrich, 99.99%), La2O3 (Aldrich, 99.9%)and SrCO3 (Aldrich 99.9%) in ca 20 ml of concentrated hot nitric acid (Panreac 66%)and ca 50 ml of distillate water was added. Under heating and vigorous stirring, citric acid was added in a molar ratio citric acid to metal ions of 3:1. Then, titanium was added as anatase (Aldrich, purity 99.9%) to obtain a homogeneous suspension, since TiO2 is not soluble. When the solution was concentrated to half of its initial volume, 3 ml of diethyleneglycol was added to promote polymerization. When a solid resin is formed it is allowed to cool down to room temperature and then milled in an agate mortar; the obtained powder was burn at 1073 K to remove organic matter. After milling and homogenization the resulted powder was heated at 1773 K for 24 h and cooled down (at a rate of 2 K/min) to room temperature to obtain well crystallized materials.
