Crystal structure of LaMnO[sub 3+[delta]] synthesized using poly(acrylic acid)

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (United States)
Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was used to make a gel from an aqueous solution of lanthanum and manganese nitrates. In the concentration range 3 [times] 10[sup [minus]2] to 5 [times] 10[sup [minus]2] M of PAA, the single phase of perovskite-type LaMnO[sub 3+[delta]] was synthesized by firing gels at low temperature. The crystal structure of LaMnO[sub 3+[delta]] changes from hexagonal to orthorhombic with increasing concentration of PAA. At 5 [times] 10[sup [minus]2] M of PAA, the crystal structure of LaMnO[sub 3+[delta]] changes from orthorhombic to hexagonal with increasing temperature. 8 refs., 3 figs.
