A powdered La2CoMnO6 double perovskite was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method, and its crystal structure and phase-transitions were investigated by (Mode Crystallography) Rietveld analysis using X-ray and neutron diffraction data. Three indistinguishable ferromagnetic models with the space groups P21/n and P2′1/n′ are proposed.

The double perovskite Sr2FeMnO6 has been synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction and subsequent Rietveld refinement confirm that Sr2FeMnO6 has the double-perovskite structure with a cubic cell (a=7.726 Å) and space group Fm3m (No. 225) . The appearance of the superlattice reflection (111) indicates that Fe and Mn atoms alternatively occupy the center of oxygen octahedron in an ordered way. Based on magnetization hysteresis curve and ESR measurements, a ferrimagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition for the double perovskite Sr2FeMnO6 was observed, and the Neel temperature was determined to be TN ~475K. In paramagnetic phase above TN, the value of gyromagnetic factor was determined to be very close to 2.

Recently, ferroelectricity was discovered in Sn-doped SrTiO3 (abbreviated by SSTO), in which Sr-atom was substituted by a few percent Sn-atom[1]. The ferroelctricity of SSTO was confirmed by means of the appearance of the dielectric anomaly, that reached several thousands and the clear D-E hysteresis loop in low temperature phase. In order to clarify the mechanism of ferroelectric phase transition of SSTO from the viewpoint of the crystal structure, we investigated the average crystal structure and the local structure around the substitutional Sn-atom of SSTO10 (10% Sn concentration, ferroelectric phase transition temperature 180K) by means of synchrotron-radiation powder X-ray diffraction and transmission XAFS spectrum of Sn:K-edge, respectively. From the results of MEM/Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data, it was obtained that crystal structure of paraelectric phase of SSTO10 was cubic perovskite structure with the disorder state of Sn-atom. In ferroelectric phase, the crystal system was tetragonal, which was similar in structure to tetragonal ferroelectric structure of BaTiO3, and Sn-atom was order state. XAFS study revealed that the valence of Sn-ion was +2 charge and the local structure of Sn-atom was seemed as being the self-insistent state of SnO crystal structure. However, strangely, the coordination number of the nearest neighbor atom, that is O-atom, was 2 instead of 4. This is a mystery result and we have been analyzing. We have considered that the ferroelectricity of SSTO is induced by the distortion around the subsitituional Sn-atom. At the meeting, we are planning to discuss the precise crystal structure and the mechanism of the ferroelectric phase transition of SSTO.

Polycrystalline ( Pb 1-x Sr x) TiO 3 (PST) (x = 0.25, 0.50) ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. PST sintering temperatures ranged between 1050–1250°C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The sintered pellets showed pure perovskite in all samples. The lattice parameter c increased, while the lattice parameter a decreased with increasing sintering temperatures. The tetragonality and average grain sizes increased when sintering temperatures were increased. The dielectric constants vs temperature curves of PST ceramics with x = 0.25 and x = 0.50 associated with the ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition, showed a maximum peak at around 311 and 139°C, respectively. The dielectric constants of both compositions were related with their densities.

Polycrystalline samples of Bi2Sn2O7 have been synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction method. According to the X-ray powder diffraction research, our sample co-existing of two polymorphs phases: cubic and rhombic, concurrently. The real dielectric permeability Re (ε) monotonic grows versus temperature and the imaginary dielectric permeability Im (ε) nonmonotonic is increased at the heating. There are maxima at Т=450 K on both temperature dependences Im (ε) and Re (ε) reveal. Anomalies in the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity at temperatures are found and to be correlated with the α→ β structural phase transition temperature.

We synthesized Sr- and W-doped BaTiO3 (BTO) polycrystals by using a solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction results showed that Sr and W atoms occupied the Ba and Ti sites in tetragonal BTO, respectively, and there were changes in the lattice constants and the volumes in the Sr- and W-doped BTO. We found a change in the latent heat and the Curie temperature (TC) during the transition between the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases while increasing the contents of Sr and W in the Sr- and W-doped BTO. This can be explained by the fact that the doping of Sr and W atoms in BTO prevented a distinct transition between the ferroelectric tetragonal and paraelectric cubic structures by decreasing the c/a ratio to a value close to unity. This study shows a way toward a strategy for modulating a crystal structure by using proper dopants for future applications in ferroelectricity-based devices.

Neutron powder diffraction techniques have been used to investigate the magnetic structure of bornite, Cu5FeS4. Below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 76 ± 2 K extra peaks appear in the diffraction pattern corresponding to magnetic ordering. The data are consistent with an antiferromagnetic alignment of iron atoms with moments of 4.4 ± 0.3 μB on the iron sites proposed by Koto and Morimoto on the basis of X-ray measurements of the crystal structure. Mössbauer and neutron diffraction data suggest that the second magnetic phase transition at 8 K arises from a spin rotation. Since the magnetic structure gives only superexchange paths between iron atoms through two or more anions, it is difficult to understand why the Néel temperature is so high without invoking small moments on copper atoms

A series of double-perovskite oxides, Sr2RNbO6 (R = Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Y, Tm, and Lu) were prepared and their crystal structure and powder diffraction reference patterns were determined using the Rietveld analysis technique. The crystal structure of each of the Sr2RNbO6 phase is reported in this paper. The R = Gd, Ho, and Lu samples were studied using synchrotron radiation, while R = Sm, Dy, Y, and Tm samples were studied using laboratory X-ray diffraction. Members of Sr2RNbO6 are monoclinic with a space group of P21/n and are isostructural with each other. Following the trend of “lanthanide contraction”, from R = Sm to Lu, the lattice parameters “a” of these compounds decreases from 5.84672(10) to 5.78100(3) Å, b from 5.93192(13) to 5.80977(3) Å, c from 8.3142(2) to 8.18957(5) Å, and V decreases from 288.355(11) to 275.057(2) Å3. In this double-perovskite series, the R3+ and Nb5+ ions are structurally ordered. The average Nb–O bond length is nearly constant, while the average R–O bond length decreases with the decreasing ionic radius of R3+. Powder diffraction patterns for these compounds have been submitted to the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).

La0.8Sr0.2MO3+δ, (M=Mn, Fe, Cr, Co) ceramics were prepared by using solid state reaction method. All raw materials were mixed and ground using mortar. Homogenized powders were calcined at 900°C for three hour followed by grounding and uniaxial pressed at 100MPa. Compacted pellets were further pressed using cold isostatic pressing machine at 2600kg/m.s and sintered at 1300°C with heating rate 5°C/min for 4 hour. Crystal structure and phase transformation of sintered samples were obtained using X-ray diffraction. Density and porosity are measured by using Archimedes principle. The morphology of sintered samples is observed using scanning electron microscopy, while elemental analysis using the EDX.
