For this research, the effects of isovalent doping on orbital ordering in the perovskite Y_1-xLa_xVO₃ were investigated using neutron diffraction and the pair distribution function analysis. YVO₃ is a prototype for orbital ordering, exhibiting two consecutive transitions to G-type and C-type ordering with decreasing temperature. Evidence for local orbital ordering above the transition temperature of T_OO~200 K is presented, obtained from the temperature dependence of the oxygen-oxygen octahedral correlations. This suggests that locally, G-type orbital ordering is present above the T_OO temperature but it is short range. With doping, it is expected that orbital ordering disappears altogether. In conclusion, by 30% of doping, as in Y_0.7La_0.3VO₃, even though no orbital ordering is expected, we find that locally, C-type orbital correlations are most likely present below the magnetic transition temperature T_N, allowing for a direct paramagnetic to orbitally ordered/antiferromagnetic transition in this composition.
