Title: Structural instability of the CoO₄ tetrahedral chain in SrCoO_3-δ thin films

Abstract

Raman scattering experiments together with detailed lattice dynamic calculations are performed to elucidate crystallographic and electronic peculiarities of SrCoO_3-δ films. We observe that the 85 cm^-1 phonon mode involving the rotation of a CoO₄ tetrahedron undergoes a hardening by 21 cm^-1 when the temperature is decreased. In addition, new phonon modes appear at 651.5 and 697.6 cm^-1 . The latter modes are attributed to the Jahn-Teller activated modes. Upon cooling from room temperature, all phonons exhibit an exponential-like increase of intensity with a characteristic energy of about 103–107 K. We attribute this phenomenon to an instability of the CoO₄ tetrahedral chain structure, which constitutes a key ingredient to understand the electronic and structural properties of the brownmillerite SrCoO_2.5.

Structural instability of the CoO{sub 4} tetrahedral chain in SrCoO{sub 3−δ} thin films

Journal Article Glamazda, A. ; Choi, K. -Y. ; Lemmens, P. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Raman scattering experiments together with detailed lattice dynamic calculations are performed to elucidate crystallographic and electronic peculiarities of SrCoO{sub 3−δ} films. We observe that the 85 cm{sup −1} phonon mode involving the rotation of a CoO{sub 4} tetrahedron undergoes a huge hardening by 21 cm{sup −1} with decreasing temperature. In addition, new phonon modes appear at 651.5 and 697.6 cm{sup −1}. The latter modes are attributed to the Jahn-Teller activated modes. Upon cooling from room temperature, all phonons exhibit an exponential-like increase of intensity with a characteristic energy of about 103–107 K.

A new layered cobaltite (Ga{sub 1/3}Co{sub 2/3}){sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CoO{sub 6+{delta}} with high spin Co{sup 3+}: modulated structure and physical properties

Journal Article Pelloquin, D ; Hebert, S ; Perez, O ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Investigations in the Sr-Co-Ga-O system by means of transmission electron microscopy techniques have allowed the detection of a new layered cobaltite. Its structure has been obtained by combining high-resolution images and powder X-ray diffraction. The modulated structure of this novel oxide (Ga{sub 1/3}Co{sub 2/3}){sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CoO{sub 6+{delta}} is derived from the perovskite with a=a{sub p}{radical}2, b=a{sub p}{radical}2, c=19.2A and a modulation vector q*=q{sub 1}a*+q{sub 2}c*. For the as-prepared samples, the {delta} value is close to 0.4 and the modulated structure (q{sub 1}{approx}1/3 and q{sub 2}=1) can be described in an ideal orthorhombic 3D supercell Bb2b with the unit cell parametersmore »« less

Journal Article Stoeber, Stefan ; Redhammer, Guenther ; Schorr, Susan ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Four different brownmillerite solid solutions Ca{sub 2}Al{sub x}(Fe{sub 0.5}Mn{sub 0.5}){sub 2-x}O{sub 5+{delta}} with 1/2{<=}x{<=}4/3 were synthesized by a solid oxide ceramic method. The phases crystallize either in a primitive centered orthorhombic cell with space group Pnma or in a body centered cell with space group I2mb dependent on the aluminum concentration present in the solid solution. Mn{sup 3+} ions occupy exclusively site 4a coordinated by six oxygen anions. Increasing Mn{sup 3+} concentrations cause a remarkable distortion of the octahedron and indirectly of the tetrahedron, resulting in twisted and tilted octahedral layers as well as buckled tetrahedral chains.

A Broad Stability Investigation of Nb-Doped SrCoO_2.5+δ as a Reversible Oxygen Electrode for Intermediate-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Journal Article Wang, Jie ; Jiang, Long ; Xiong, Xiaolei ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The present work reports a systematic study on the structural, thermal, electrical and electrochemical stability of SrCo_1–xNb_xO_2.5+δ series as a potential reversible oxygen-electrode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The identified best composition is x = 0.10, which exhibits a stable pseudo primitive cubic structure at <700°C and a reversible oxygen redox reaction at 350°C. The conductivity of this material is p-type and also exhibits a peak at 350°C, implying that the electron hole conduction is closely associated with the oxygen nonstoichiometry. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis indicates a low polarization resistance rate-limited by a slower surface O₂ dissociation step. Altogether,more »« less
