Title: Thermodynamic quantities and defect equilibrium in the perovskite-type oxide solid solution La/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/FeO/sub 3-delta/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

In order to clarify the relationship between the thermodynamic quantities and the defect equilibrium of the solid solution La/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/FeO/sub 3-delta/, analysis and statistical thermodynamic calculations were made using the authors' previously reported nonstoichiometry data. From the delta-log P/sub O/sub 2//-T relationships, using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation, the partial molar enthalpy (h/sub 0/ - H/sup 0//sub 0/) and the partial molar entropy (s/sub 0/ - s/sup 0//sub 0/) of oxygen in La/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/FeO/sub 3-delta/ were determined as functions of x and delta. Here, the standard states of h/sub 0/ and s/sub 0/, h/sup 0//sub 0/, and s/sup 0//sub 0/ are in equilibrium with 1 atm oxygen gas. For delta < x/2 and delta > x/2, (h/sub 0/ - h/sup 0//sub 0/) is essentially constant and (s/sub 0/ - s/sup 0//sub 0/) increases with delta. Around delta = x/2, drastic decreases in (h/sub 0/ - h/sup 0//sub 0/) and (s/sub 0/ - s/sup 0//sub 0/) are observed. The calculated relationships based on the statistical thermodynamic model agreed quite well with those determined from the experimental data using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.
