Title: Local structure of La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3} determined from EXAFS and neutron PDF studies.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.

The combined local structure techniques, extended x-ray absorption fine structure and neutron pair distribution function analysis, have been used for temperatures 4 {le} T {le} 330 K to rule out a large Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion of the Co-O bond in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3} for a significant fraction of Co sites (x {le} 0.35), indicating few, if any, JT-active, singly occupied e{sub g} Co sites exist.
