Title: Structural and physical properties of Re substituted B-site ordered and disordered SrCo{sub 1-x}Re{sub x}O{sub 3-delta} (x = 0.1, 0.25, 0.5).

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Synthesis conditions, structural, magnetic and transport properties have been studied for SrCo{sub 1-x}Re{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} samples with x = 0.1, 0.25, 0.5. SrCo{sub 0.9}Re{sub 0.1}O{sub 3-{delta}} forms in air and remains stable on cooling indicating that small amounts of Re{sup 7+} stabilize a B-site disordered Pm-3m phase inhibiting formation of a hexagonal phase observed for SrCoO{sub 3-{delta}}. After oxygenation SrCo{sub 0.9}Re{sub 0.1}O{sub 2.94} becomes ferromagnetic below 125 K and shows metallic-like conductivity with moderate magnetoresistance at low temperatures. Fully oxygenated double perovskite Sr{sub 2}CoReO{sub 6} (x = 0.5) forms under reducing conditions and is tetragonal at room temperature. A hysteretic transition to the antiferromagnetic state at low temperatures ({approx}50-60 K) is coupled with a drastic change of electronic and thermal properties. Contrary to previous reports [A. Nag et al., Chem. Mater. 20(13) (2008) 4420-4424] SrCo{sub 0.75}Re{sub 0.25}O{sub 3} is not a partially cation ordered Sr{sub 4}Co{sub 3}ReO{sub 12} phase, but a mixture of two structural and magnetic phases with disordered SrCo{sub 1-xd}Re{sub xd}O{sub 3} and ordered SrCo{sub 1-xo}Re{sub xo}O{sub 3} compositions where xd > 0.1 and xo < 0.5.
