- Novel complex oxides Sr2Ga1+x In1-x O-5, x = 0.0-0.2 with brownmillerite-type structure were prepared in air at T = 1,273 K, 24 h. Study of the crystal structure of Sr2Ga1.1In0.9O5 refined using X-ray powder diffraction data (S.G. Icmm, a = 5.9694(1) , b = 15.2091(3) , c = 5.7122(1) , chi (2) = 2.48, R (F) (2) (=) 0.0504, R (p) = 0.0458) revealed ordering of Ga3+ and In3+ cations over tetrahedral and octahedral positions, respectively. A partial replacement of Sr2+ by La3+ according to formula Sr1-y La (y) Ga0.5In0.5O2.5+y/2, leads to the formation of a cubic perovskite (a = 4.0291(5) ) for y = 0.3. No ordering of oxygen vacancies or cations was observed in Sr0.7La0.3Ga0.5In0.5O2.65 as revealed by electron diffraction study. The trace diffusion coefficient (D (T)) of oxygen for cubic perovskite Sr0.7La0.3Ga0.5In0.5O2.65 is in the range 2.0 Au 10(-9)-6.3 Au 10(-8) cm(2)/s with activation energy 1.4(1) eV as determined by isotopic exchange depth profile technique using secondary ion mass spectrometry at 973-1,223 K. These values are close to those reported for Ca-doped ZrO2. High-temperature electrical conductivity of Sr0.7La0.3Ga0.5In0.5O2.65 studied by AC impedance was found to be nearly independent on oxygen partial pressure. Calculated values of activation energy at T < 1,073 K for hole and oxide-ion conductivities are 0.96 and 1.10 eV, respectively.

- Three different perovskite-related phases were isolated in the SrGa(1-x)Sc(x)O(2.5) system: Sr(2)GaScO(5), Sr(10)Ga(6)Sc(4)O(25), and SrGa(0.75)Sc(0.25)O(2.5), Sr(2)GaScO(5) (x = 0.5) crystallizes in a brownrnillerite-type structure [space group (S.G.) Icmm, a = 5.91048(5) angstrom, b = 15.1594(1) angstrom, and c = 5.70926(4) angstrom] with complete ordering of Sc(3+) and Ga(3+) over octahedral and tetrahedral positions, respectively. The crystal structure of Sr(10)Ga(6)Sc(4)O(25) (x = 0.4) was determined by the Monte Carlo method and refined using a combination of X-ray, neutron, and electron diffraction data [S.G. I4(1)/a, a = 17.517(1) angstrom, c = 32.830(3) angstrom]. It represents a novel type of ordering of the B cations and oxygen vacancies in perovskites. The crystal structure of Sr(10)Ga(6)Sc(4)O(25) can be described as a stacking of eight perovskite layers along the c axis ...[-(Sc/Ga)O(1.6)-SrO(0.8)-(Sc/Ga)O(1.8)-SrO(0.8)-](2 center dot center dot center dot) Similar to Sr(2)GaScO(5), this structure features a complete ordering of the Sc(3+) and Ga(3+) cations over octahedral and tetrahedral positions, respectively, within each layer. A specific feature of the crystal structure of Sr(10)Ga(6)Sc(4)O(25) is that one-third of the tetrahedra have one vertex not connected with other Sc/Ga cations. Further partial replacement of Sc(3+) by Ga(3+) leads to the formation of the cubic perovskite phase SrGa(0.75)Sc(0.25)O(2.5) (x = 0.25) with a = 3.9817(4) angstrom. This compound incorporates water molecules in the structure forming SrGa(0.75)Sc(0.25)O(2.5)center dot xH(2)O hydrate, which exhibits a proton conductivity of similar to 2.0 x 10(-6) S/cm at 673 K.

- The novel perovskites La2CrB2/3Nb1/3O6, B = Mg, Ni, and Cu have been synthesised at 1350 degrees C in air via the citrate route. Rietveld refinements using neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data showed that the compounds adopt the GdFeO3 type structure with space group Pbnm, and unit cell parameters a approximate to b approximate to root 2 x a(p) and c approximate to 2 x a(p), where a(p) approximate to 3.8 angstrom. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) of B = Ni and Cu samples confirmed space group Pbnm. However, distinct reflections forbidden in Pbnm symmetry, but allowed in the monoclinic sub-group P2(1)/n and unit cell parameters a approximate to b approximate to root 2 x a(p) and c approximate to 2 x a(p), beta approximate to 90 degrees were present in SAED patterns of B = Mg sample. This indicates an ordering of the B-cations within the crystal structure of La2CrMg2/3Nb1/3O6. High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) study indicating uniform, without formation of clusters, ordering of B-cations in the crystallites of La2CrMg2/3Nb1/3O6. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the compounds are antiferromagnetic (with some glass or spin clustering effects due to additional ferromagnetic interactions between the B-cations) with T-N for La2CrB2/3Nb1/3O6, B = Mg, Ni, Cu being 90, 125 and 140K, respectively.

- Perovskite-type cobaltates in the system La(2)Co(1+z) (Mg(x)Ti(1-x))(1-z)O(6) were studied for z=0 <= x <= 0.6 and 0 <= x <= 0.9, using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction, electron diffraction (ED), magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The samples were synthesised using the citrate route in air at 1350 degrees C. The space group symmetry of the structure changes from P2(1)/n via Pbnm to R (3) over barc with both increasing Mg content and increasing Co content. The La(2)Co(Mg(x)Ti(1-x))O(6) (z=0) compounds show anti-ferromagnetic couplings of the magnetic moments for the Co below 15 K for x=0, 0.1 and 0.2. XANES spectra show for the compositions 0 <= x <= 0.5 a linear decrease in the L(3)/(L(3)+ L(2))Co-L(2.3) edge branching ratio with x, in agreement with a decrease of the average Co ion spin-state, from a high-spin to a lower-spin-state, with decreasing nominal Co(2+) ion content.

- Oxygen-deficient ferrates with the cubic perovskite structure SrxY1-xFeO3-d were prepared in air (0.71 ≤ x ≤ 0.91) as well as in N2 (x=0.75 and 0.79) at 1573K. The oxygen content of the compounds prepared in air increases with increasing strontium content from 3-δ=2.79(2) for x=0.75 to 3-δ=2.83(2) for x=0.91. Refinement of the crystal structure of Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79 using TOF neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data shows high anisotropic atomic displacement parameter (ADP) for the oxygen atom resulting from a substantial cation and anion disorder. Electron diffraction (ED) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) studies of Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79 reveal a modulation along <100>p with G± ~0.4<100>p indicating a local ordering of oxygen vacancies. Magnetic susceptibility measurements at 5-390K show spin-glass behaviour with dominating antiferromagnetic coupling between the magnetic moments of Fe cations. Among the studied compositions, Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79 shows the lowest thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of 10.5 ppm K-1 in air at 298-673K. At 773-1173K TEC increases up to 17.2 ppm K-1 due to substantial reduction of oxygen content. The latter also results in a dramatic decrease of the electrical conductivity in air above 673K. Partial substitution of Fe by Cr, Mn and Ni according to the formula Sr0.75Y0.25Fe1-yMyO3-δ (y=0.2, 0.33, 0.5) leads to cubic perovskites for all substituents with y=0.2. Their TECs are higher in comparison with un-doped Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79. Only M=Ni has increased electrical conductivity compared to un-doped Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79.

- Ba6 − xLnxNb10O30 compounds, Ln = La, Ce and Nd, with a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structure have been synthesized and were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and EDS analysis. The homogeneity regions of the obtained compounds were found to be 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 for La, and 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5 for Ce and Nd. The crystal structures of Ba5LaNb10O30 and Ba4La2Nb10O30 were refined using X-ray powder diffraction data. Refinement indicated the presence of vacancies in the positions. This observation was supported by oxidation studies of the La-substituted compounds. The temperature dependence of the normalized resistivity of the compounds showed a nonmetallic behavior. The increase in the ratio with decreasing temperature is less distinct for the phases with the higher concentration of rare-earth cation.

- Stoichiometric SrNbO3; with a GdFeO3 type structure was synthesized between 1300 and 1550°C in Ar-filled and sealed niobium ampoules. Its crystal structure was refined using time-of-flight neutron diffraction data. Space group Pnma: a=√2·ap=5.6894(2) Å; b=2·ap=8.0684(1) Å; c=√2·ap=5.6944(2) Å; RF2=0.020; and RP=0.034. High-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction studies frequently revealed structural defects in SrNbO3. X-ray and electron diffraction studies showed cubic symmetry for SrNbO3 synthesized below 1300°C and for compounds with nominal composition Sr0.8NbO3 synthesized between 1200 and 1550°C. SrNbO3 was found to be temperature independently paramagnetic

- Reduced niobates Ca1−xSrxNbO3(0≤x≤1) with perovskite-type structures have been synthesized at 1500°C in niobium ampoules sealed under argon gas. The prepared compounds were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, electron diffraction, high-resolution electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The structure of CaNbO3(GdFeO3type) was refined using X-ray powder diffraction data. Electron diffraction studies showed that complex superstructures of the perovskite-type structure occur forx>0 in Ca1−xSrxNbO3: (i) forx=0.2 and 0.3 reflections corresponding to a supercell witha≈2×√2×aper,b≈4×aper, andc≈2×√2×aper(per=ideal perovskite) were observed, (ii) forx=0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 a cubic supercell was found witha=4×aper, whereas (iii) forx=0.8 and 0.9 the supercell is probably orthorhombic witha≈c≈√2×aperandb≈2×aper. Forx=1.0 a new orthorhombic modification of SrNbO3witha≈c≈√2×aperandb≈2×aperwas found. Resistivity measurements showed CaNbO3to have a nonmetallic type of conductivity, whereas the Sr-containing samples were metallic.

- The first known reduced niobates with a pyrochlore structure, CaLnNb(2)O(7) Ln = Y, Nd, have been synthesized from Ca2Nb2O7, Ln(2)O(3), and NbO2 in sealed Nb ampoules heated at 1400 degrees C for 6 h. Our studies show that these compounds have a small homogeneity region according to the formula Ca(2-x)Ln(x)Nb(2)O(7), Ln = Nd with x = 0.9, 1.0; and Ln = Y with x = 1.0, 1.1. The prepared compounds were characterized by EDX (energy dispersive X-ray) analysis, X-ray and electron diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystal structures of CaNdNb2O7 and CaYNb2O7 were refined using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. CaNdNb2O7 and CaYNb2O7 have undistorted pyrochlore structures: space group Fd3m, a = 10.416(1) Angstrom and 10.3159(8) Angstrom, respectively. Resistivity measurements show that CaNdNb2O7 exhibits semiconducting behavior. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
