Crystal structure and magnetic properties of high-oxygen pressure annealed Sr{sub 1-x}La{sub x}Co{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 3-{delta}} (0 < x < 0.5).
- Materials Science Division
Structural and magnetic studies are presented for the perovskite type Sr{sub 1-x}La{sub x}Co{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 3-{delta}} (0 {le} x {le} 0.5) materials annealed under moderately high-oxygen pressures of {approx}200 atm. A detailed analysis of the room temperature neutron time-of-flight diffraction data reveals that the crystal structure of the sample SrCo{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 2.89(1)}, previously described as vacancy-disordered cubic, is similar to the formerly reported, oxygen-vacancy ordered Sr{sub 8}Fe{sub 8}O{sub 23} compound, i.e. Sr{sub 8}Co{sub 4}Fe{sub 4}O{sub 23} is tetragonal with the I4/mmm symmetry. With an increase of the La content the studied materials become nearly oxygen stoichiometric and a lowering of the crystal symmetry is observed from cubic (x=0.1 and 0.2) to tetragonal I4/mcm (x=0.3 and 0.4), and finally to monoclinic I12/c1 (x=0.5). Low-temperature structural and magnetic measurements show a ferromagnetic ordering with the maximum Curie temperature near 290 K at x=0.2.
