High-temperature oxygen non-stoichiometry, conductivity and structure in strontium-rich nickelates La2-xSrxNiO4- (x = 1 and 1.4)

چکیده
Oxygen nonstoichiometry, electrical conductivity and thermal expansion of La2-xSrxNiO4- phases with high levels of strontium substitution (1 ≤ x ≤ 1.4) have been investigated in air and oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range 20-1050 °C. These phases retain the K2NiF4-type structure of La2NiO4 (tetragonal, space group I4/mmm). The oxygen vacancy fraction was determined independently from thermogravimetric and neutron diffraction experiments, and is found to increase considerably on heating. The electrical resistivity, thermal expansion and cell parameters with temperature show peculiar variations with temperature, and differ notably from La2NiO4± in this respect. These variations are tentatively correlated with the evolution of nickel oxidation state, which crosses from a Ni/Ni to a Ni/Ni equilibrium on heating.

متن کاملCharge Stripes and Antiferromagnetism in Insulating Nickelates and Superconducting Cuprates
Neutron and X-ray scattering studies have provided strong evidence for coupled spatial modulations of charge and spin densities in layered nickelates and cuprates. The accumulated results for La2−xSrxNiO4+δ are consistent with the strongly-modulated topological-stripe concept. Clues from Nd-doped La2−xSrxCuO4 suggest similar behavior for the cuprates. The experimental results are summarized, an...
متن کاملInterplay of charge and spin correlations in nickel perovskites
Analyzing the motion of low–spin (s = 1/2) holes in a high–spin (S = 1) background, we derive a sort of generalized t–J Hamiltonian for the NiO2 planes of Sr–doped nickelates. In addition to the rather complex carrier–spin and spin–spin couplings we take into account the coupling of the doped holes to in–plane oxygen breathing modes by a Holstein–type interaction term. Because of strong magneti...
متن کاملMagnetic correlations in La2-xSrxCoO4 studied by neutron scattering: possible evidence for stripe phases.
Spin correlations in La2-xSrxCoO4 (0.3 < or = x < or = 0.6) have been studied by neutron scattering. The commensurate antiferromagnetic order of La2CoO4 persists in a very short range up to a Sr content of x = 0.3, whereas small amounts of Sr suppress commensurate antiferromagnetism in cuprates and in nickelates. La2-xSrxCoO4 with x > 0.3 exhibits incommensurate spin ordering with the modulatio...
متن کاملEffect of Strontium doping on the Oxygen Diffusion in La2−xSrxCuO4±δ samples Investigated by Oxygen Isotope Back Exchange
Similar to LaCoO4.14, La2-xSrxCuO4±δ shows oxygen diffusion at moderate temperatures. The Oxygen Isotope Back Exchange (OIBE) experiments are done in order to investigate the effect of strontium on the oxygen diffusion in as grown single crystals of La2-xSrxCuO4±δ (x =0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15). Neutron diffraction data collected at TriCS@SINQ are in agreement with diffusion measurements achieved by o...
