Structure for perovskites with layered ordering of A-site cations.

چکیده
The structure of La(1/3)NbO3 is that of a perovskite with La3+ cations ordered into alternate layers of perovskite A-sites. This is the description of a tetragonal structure and yet the room-temperature structure shows an orthorhombic distortion. The structure of La(2/3)TiO3 shows similar features. It has been recognized only very recently that the orthorhombic distortion in both these compounds is due to octahedral tilting. It seems clear from the literature that Ce(2/3)TiO3, Pr(2/3)TiO3, Nd(2/3)TiO3 and Ce(1/3)NbO3 adopt the same structure. Structures of other perovskites, such as Ln(2/3)TiO3, Ln(1/3)NbO3 and Ln(1/3)TaO3 (Ln = lanthanoid), when orthorhombically distorted, may be similar.

Band-gap engineering via local environment in complex oxides
We examine band-structure engineering in extremely tetragonal ferroelectric perovskites (ABO3) to make these materials suitable for photovoltaic applications. Using first-principles calculations, we study how B-site ordering, lattice strain, cation identity, and oxygen octahedral cage tilts affect the energies and the compositions of the valence and conduction bands. We find that extreme tetrag...
متن کاملElectron diffraction of ABX3 perovskites with both layered ordering of A cations and tilting of BX6 octahedra.
It is shown that 21 ABX(3) perovskites with tilted BX(6) octahedra and layered ordering of A cations can be generated on the basis of group-subgroup relations. These structures (with 16 different space groups) are classified into ten diffraction types in terms of the conditions for superstructure reflections caused by the ordering of A cations, tilting of BX(6) octahedra and structural absences...
متن کاملIon-exchangeable, electronically conducting layered perovskite oxyfluorides.
Cation-exchangeable d(0) layered perovskites are amenable to intercalation, exfoliation, and a variety of topochemical reactions, but they lack the interesting electronic and magnetic functionalities of mixed-valent perovskites. Conversely, electronically and magnetically interesting layered perovskites lack scope in terms of interlayer chemistry. To bridge this gap, the insulating, cation-exch...
متن کاملPerovskites by Design: A Toolbox of Solid-State Reactions
In recent years, many soft-chemical reactions of layered perovskites have been reported, and they can be classified into sets of similar reactions. Simple ion-exchange and intercalation reactions replace or modify the interlayer cations of layered perovskites, and more complex metathesis reactions replace interlayer cations with cationic structural units. Topochemical condensation reactions tha...

ABO3 perovskites with small cations at the A site (A = Sc(3+), In(3+) and Mn(2+) and B = Al(3+) and transition metals) are reviewed. They extend the corresponding families of perovskites with A(3+) = Y, La-Lu, and Bi and A(2+) = Cd, Ca, Sr and Ba and exhibit the largest structural distortions. As a result of these large distortions, they show, in many cases, distinct structural and magnetic pro...
