Abstract

The perovskite-based rare earth cobaltates (Ln_0.33Sr_0.67CoO_3-δ) (Ln=Y³⁺, Ho³⁺ and Dy³⁺) have been synthesized at 1100°C under 1atm oxygen. A thermogravimetric study has determined the overall oxygen content in each case while a combined electron diffraction (ED) and synchrotron X-ray diffraction study has revealed the presence of a complex, previously unreported, perovskite-related superstructure phase. ED gave a resultant C1c1 but most probably Cmcm (a=2a_p-2c_p, b=4b_p, c=2a_p+2c_p) perovskite-related superstructure, describable as a modulated I4/mmm intermediate parent structure. Synchrotron X-ray data has been used to refine the intermediate parent structures of all three compounds. Coupled Ln/Sr and O/vacancy ordering and associated structural relaxation is shown to be responsible for the observed superstructure.
