Abstract

{sup 151}Eu and {sup 57}Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and high-intensity high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction were used to determine the extent of long- and short-range charge ordering below the first-order Verwey-type transition in EuBaFe{sub 2}O{sub 5}, the oxygen content of which was homogenized by annealing in sealed ampoule. The diffraction gives 0.68(5) valence unit of charge separation at 100K. Interpretation of this value as 68% of iron being long-range charge ordered correlates with the total transition entropy per formula of about 0.7 of the theoretical value 2Rln2 that would be valid for all iron atoms being fully charge ordered. For long- and short-range order combined, {sup 57}Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy suggests that about 90% of iron atoms occur as charge-ordered integer Fe{sup 2+} and Fe{sup 3+}. The residual 10% are the Fe{sup 2+} and Fe{sup 3+} that did not find the way to order. Local oxygen non-stoichiometry defects that revert the direction of the charge order are suggested as one of the origins of the short-range charge order. Accordingly, the long-range charge order seen by diffraction is highest in the portion of the sample that converts last upon heating, having the most ideal valence ratio.

Studies of phases in the KNbO/sub 3/-Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/ system by high-resolution electron microscopy and x-ray powder diffraction

Lundberg, M. ; Sundberg, M. - J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

High-resolution electron microscopy and x-ray powder diffraction studies of specimens in the KNbO/sub 3/-Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/ system have shown that, besides the previously reported layer structures K/sub 4/Nb/sub 6/O/sub 17/ and L-KNb/sub 3/O/sub 8/, there exist three different types of tetragonal tungsten-bronze-related structures as well as a block structure, KNb/sub 13/O/sub 33/, isostructural with the NaNb/sub 13/O/sub 33/ phase. The parameters and the structural relations to TTB are discussed. The first two TTB-related phases, superstructures of the TTB-type, are characterized by the formula K/sub 2x/Nb/sub 2-x//sup A/(NbO)/sub x//sup C/Nb/sub 10/O/sub 30/, where 0 < x less than or equal tomore »« less

Oxygen ordering in the crystal structure of the 93-K superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ using powder neutron diffraction at 298 and 79. 5 K

Greedan, J.E. ; O'Reilly, A. ; Stager, C.V. - Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

The crystal structure of the 93-K superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ has been elucidated from neutron powder diffraction data at 298 and 79.5 K. We confirm the basic features of the perovskite-related structure found at room temperature from earlier x-ray diffraction studies of small single crystals and find, additionally, that ordering of one of the oxygen atoms gives rise to square planar coordination for one of the copper atoms rather than disordered octahedral coordination. Within the resolution of our data there is no apparent change in structure below T/sub c/.

Synthesis under high-oxygen pressure, magnetic and structural characterization from neutron powder diffraction data of YGa{sub 1-x}Mn{sub 1+x}O{sub 5} (x = 0.23): A comparison with YMn{sub 2}O{sub 5}

Calle, C. de la ; Alonso, J.A. ; Martinez-Lope, M.J. ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

A new material of nominal stoichiometry YGaMnO{sub 5} has been prepared in polycrystalline form from citrate precursors followed by thermal treatments under high-oxygen pressure. This compound has been characterized from neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data and magnetic measurements. For comparison, the parent compound YMn{sub 2}O{sub 5} has also been synthesized and its crystal structure refined by NPD data. The new oxide has an actual stoichiometry YGa{sub 1-x}Mn{sub 1+x}O{sub 5} (x = 0.23), determined by NPD, showing an important cationic disorder between both metal sites; it is orthorhombic, Pbam (SG), and its crystal structure contains chains of Mn{sup 4+}O{sub 6} edge-sharingmore »« less

Solubility of SrAl{sub 2}O{sub 4} in CAl{sub 2}O{sub 4}--a high resolution powder diffraction study

Prodjosantoso, A.K. ; Kennedy, B.J - Materials Research Bulletin

The solid solubility of the SrAl{sub 2}O{sub 4}-CAl{sub 2}O{sub 4} system has been investigated using high resolution synchrotron powder diffraction methods. Analysis of the patterns shows there is a limited composition range at which single phase samples can be obtained, x<0.25 and x>0.75 for the series Ca{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}Al{sub 2}O{sub 4}. At intermediate compositions up to three phases are observed, two monoclinic and one hexagonal. The temperature dependence of the structures is also described.

High-resolution neutron diffraction study of possible charge ordering in Na{sub 0.5}CoO{sub 2}

Williams, A. J. ; Attfield, J. P. ; Foo, M. L. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The structure of Na{sub 0.5}CoO{sub 2}, the low-temperature insulator that separates the antiferromagnetic and normal metals in the Na{sub x}CoO{sub 2} phase diagram, is studied by high-resolution powder neutron diffraction at temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Profile analysis confirms that it has an orthorhombic symmetry structure, space group Pnmm, consisting of layers of edge-sharing CoO{sub 6} octahedra in a triangular lattice, with Na ions occupying ordered positions in the interleaving planes. The oxygen content is found to be stoichiometric within 1%, indicating that the Na concentration accurately determines the electronic doping. The Na ordering creates two distinct Co sites,more »« less
