The evolution of the room-temperature structure of the oxide series La2−xSrxCoTiO6 (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) was studied as a function of the Sr content using different diffraction techniques and applying the symmetry-adapted modes formalism (AMPLIMODES). The title compounds adopt perovskite-like structures of rhombohedral symmetry with an octahedral tilting scheme (aaa) with either space group R\overline 3c or R32. The latter symmetry is observed in those cases (for x ≃ 0.6) where additional rock-salt-like ordering of La and Sr is produced in the perovskite A sites. Two composition-driven phase transitions are observed in the whole series La2−xSrxCoTiO6 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0). Using the concept of internal pressure, the effect of doping with Sr on the structure can be properly discussed. Both phase transitions seem to be of first order since they can be associated with discontinuities either in the entropy or in the structure. The first transition (P21/nPnma) occurs as the B cations become totally disordered. Along the whole compositional range the modes responsible for the out-of-phase tilting of BO6 octahedra remain active, but those associated with the in-phase octahedral tilting vanish for x ≥ 0.6, this being associated with the second transition (PnmaR\overline 3c). Finally, for x = 1.0 the three pseudo-cubic cell parameters become very similar, pointing to a transition to a cubic structure which could be obtained by applying pressure or raising the temperature.

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 (0.6 =< x =< 1.0) were prepared by a modified Peccini method by 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 48 h and cooled down (at a rate of 2 K/min) to room temperature to obtain well crystallized materials.

Refinement top

The powder diffraction pattern was indexed in a rhomboedral S·G. R-3c with a unit cell ((21/2)ac, 2*(3(1/2))ac where ac is the lattice parameter of the parent cubic perovskite.
