- Oxygen-deficient ferrates with the cubic perovskite structure SrxY1-xFeO3-delta were prepared in air (0.71 <= x <= 0.91) as well as in N-2 (x=0.75 and 0.79) at 1573 K. The oxygen content of the compounds prepared in air increases with increasing strontium content from 3-delta=2.79(2) for x=0.75 to 3-delta=2.83(2) for x=0.91. Refinement of the crystal structure of Sr0.25Y0.25FeO2.29 using TOP 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 highresolution electron microscopy (HREM) studies of Sr0.75Y0.25FeO2.79 reveal a modulation along (1 0 0)(p) with G +/- similar to 0.4(1 0 0)(p) indicating a local ordering of oxygen vacancies. Magnetic susceptibility measurements at 5-390 K show spin-glass behaviour with dominating antiferromagnetic coupling between the magnetic moments of Fe cations. Among the studied compositions, Sr0.75Y0.25Fe02.79 shows the lowest thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of 10.5 ppm/K in air at 298-673 K. At 773-1173 K TEC increases up to 17.2 ppm/K due to substantial reduction of oxygen content. The latter also results in a dramatic decrease of the electrical conductivity in air above 673 K. Partial substitution of Fe by Cr, Mn and Ni according to the formula Sr0.75Y0.25Fe1-yMyO3-delta (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 Sr0.75Y0.25Fe02.79. Only M=Ni has increased electrical conductivity compared to un-doped Sr0.75Y0.25Fe02.79.

- 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.

- 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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The high-temperature thermal expansion and electronic transport properties of the B-site substituted LaCoO3 with both variable oxidation state of cobalt between +2 and +3 (La2Co(Ti1-xMgx)O-6, 0 <= x <= 0.5) and variable Co3+-content relative to the other B-cations (La2Co1+z(Ti0.5Mg0.5)(1-z)O-6, 0.2 <= z <= 0.6) have been investigated. Based on the temperature dependence of the thermal expansion, electronic transport properties and Seebeck coefficient, three different groups of compositions according to their symmetries can be allocated. It was found that the thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) of the studied compounds are mainly dependent on the proportion of Co2+/Co3+. For La2Co(Ti1-xMgx)O-6, the TEC increases from similar to 9 (x = 0) to similar to 19 ppm K-1 (x = 0.5) with an increase of the oxidation state of cobalt from +2 to +3, respectively. The TECs of La2Co1+z(Ti0.5Mg0.5)(1-z)O-6, z = 0.2-0.6 with Co3+-only, remain constant at similar to 21 ppm K-1 independent of the cobalt content. Thermoelectric measurements of the system indicate that all samples in the system, except La2Co1.6(Ti0.5Mg0.5)(0.4)O-6, are p-type conductors over the whole temperature range, 300 < T < 1175 K. The conductivities were found to increase with an increase of both Co3+ and total cobalt content and are described with a small polaron hopping model. Due to an insignificant number of oxygen vacancies of La2Co1+z(Ti1-xMgx)(1-z)O-6 samples prepared in air at elevated temperatures, the investigated system is proposed as an excellent model system for the investigation of the influence of the Co oxidation state and stoichiometry on different properties in perovskite cobalt oxides.

- New La-deficient double perovskites with P2(1)/n symmetry, La-similar to 1.90(Co1-x2+Mgx2+)(Co1/33+Nb2/35+)O-6 with x=0, 0.13 and 0.33, and La-2(Co1/22+Mg1/22+) (Co1/23+Nb1/25+)O-6 were prepared by solid state reaction at 1450 degrees C. Their crystal structures were refined using time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction data. Our results show that certain cations such as Nb5+, with very strong B-O bonds in the perovskite structure, can induce A-site vacancies in double perovskites. Upon heating in N-2 gas atmosphere at 1200 degrees C similar to 1% O atom vacancies are formed together with a partial reduction of the Co3+ content. The average thermal expansion coefficient between 25 and 900 degrees C of La-1.90(Co2/32+Mg1/32+)(Co1/33+Nb2/35+)O-6 was determined to be 17.4 ppm K-1. Four-point electronic conductivity measurements showed that the compounds are semiconductors, with conductivities varying between 3.7.10(-2) and 7.7.10(-2) S cm(-1) at 600 degrees C and activation energies between 0.77 and 0.81 eV. Partial replacement of La3+ with Sr2+ does not lead to any increase of conductivity, while replacement of Mg2+ with Cu2+ in La1.9CoCu1/3Nb2/3O6 and La1.8CoCu1/2Nb1/2O6 leads to similar to 100 times larger conductivities at 600 degrees C, 0.35 and 1.0 S cm(-1), respectively, and lower activation energies, 0.57 and 0.73 eV, respectively.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This PhD thesis presents investigations of perovskite-related compounds in systems of interest for applications in components in solid oxide fuel cells. The compound compositions derive from substitutions in the parent compounds LaCoO3, LaCrO3 and SrFeO3.Novel phases La2Co1+z(MgxTi1-x)1-zO6 were synthesized and investigated with regard to structure, thermal expansion, electronic and magnetic properties. The study focused on the composition lines La2Co(MgxTi1-x)O6 (z=0), where the oxidation state of Co nominally changes from +2 (x=0.0) to +3 (x=0.5), and La2Co1+z(Mg0.5Ti0.5)1-zO6, with a varying fraction of Co3+ ions. XANES data show that the Co ions in the system have discrete oxidation states of +2 and +3. The TEC increases with increasing x due to an increasing contribution from spin state transitions of the Co3+ ions. Novel compounds La2Cr(M2/3Nb1/3)O6 with M=Mg, Ni, Cu were synthesized and characterized with respect to structure and magnetic properties. XRPD and NPD data indicate Pbnm symmetry; however, SAED patterns and HREM images indicate a P21/n symmetry for M=Mg, and Cu. The magnetic measurements results were rationalized using the Goodenough-Kanamori rules.Oxygen-deficient phases with x≥0.63 in SrxY1-xFeO3-δ and Sr0.75Y0.25Fe1-yMyO3-δ (M=Cr, Mn, Ni and y=0.2, 0.33, 0.5), were synthesized and characterized with respect to structure, oxygen content, thermogravimetry, TEC, conductivity and magnetic properties. Powder patterns of phases agree with cubic perovskite structures. NPD data for x=0.75 reveal anisotropic displacement for the O atom, related to local effects from Fe3+/Fe4+ ions. SAED patterns for x=0.75 reveal the presence of an incommensurate modulation. The compounds start to lose oxygen in air at ~ 400°C. The TEC up to ~400°C for x=0.75 is ~10.5 ppm/K and increase to ~17.5 ppm/K at higher temperatures. The conductivity for x=0.91 is 164 S/cm at 400°C. Partial substitution of Fe by Cr, Mn or Ni does not increase the conductivity or decrease TEC.
