Synthesis, structure, and properties of the layered perovskite La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7[minus][sigma]]
Abstract
Single-phase samples of La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7[minus][sigma]] with [sigma] = 0, 0.08, and 0.65 were prepared and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, TGA, electrical resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility. The crystal symmetry of the as-prepared ([sigma] = 0.08) and oxygenated ([sigma] = 0.00) samples is orthorhombic (space group Fmmm). Oxidation of the as-prepared La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.92] sample to La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7.00] shows little change in the unit-cell parameters. Reduction of La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.92] to La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.35] results in a structural phase transition from orthorhombic to tetragonal symmetry, a dramatic decrease in the c cell parameter, and significant increase in the a and b cell parameters. These data are consistent with loss of oxygen from the apical octahedral sites connecting two perovskite layers in La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7[minus][sigma]]. The electrical transport properties change with decreasing oxygen content from metallic for La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7.00] to semiconducting for La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.92] and La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.35]. The fully reduced sample, La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 6.35], shows a linear dependence of ln [rho] versus T[sup [minus]1/4] in the temperature range 90-140 K, suggesting a variable-range hopping mechanism. A nearly temperature-independent magnetic susceptibility is observed in the temperature range 100-300more »

A nearly temperature-independent magnetic susceptibility is observed in the temperature range 100-300 K for the [sigma] = 0 and 0.08 samples. The relatively high values and the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility indicate a Stoner enhanced Pauli paramagnetism for [sigma] = 0 and evidence for a weak ferromagnetism in the [sigma] = 0.65 sample. The electrical and magnetic properties of La[sub 3]Ni[sub 2]O[sub 7[minus][sigma]] are discussed in terms of the mixed-valent character of nickel and vacancy-induced localization effects.},
