Cobalt valence and crystal structure of La0.5Sr0.5CoO2.25

چکیده
Oxygen vacancies play a key role in determining the functionality and performance of many oxide smart materials. In this paper, the crystal structure of an anion-de® cient perovskite-type orthorhombic (with a < b) phase La0.5Sr0.5CoO2.25 (or La8Sr8Co16O36) has been determined for the ® rst time with the combined use of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electronenergy-loss spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron di raction. The unit cell is made of two types of fundamental module, and it is composed of a total of eight modules. Each module is a c-axis stacking of the anion-de® cient SrCoO3z and LaCoO3d basic perovskite cells. The unit cell preserves the characteristics of the perovskite framework, and it is a superstructure induced by O vacancies. This study illustrates the correlation of anion de® ciency with the valence state of Co, and it also proves that the O atom positions can be determined using the combination of transmission electron microscopy and associated techniques. This is likely to be an e ective method for probing the microstructure of perovskite-type functional materials. §
