| Research Abstract |
In the perovskite-type oxides, ABO_3, oxygen vacancies are easily formed while metal vacancies are not. Particularly, B-site vacancy is considered hardly exists because they are closely linked each other via oxygen ions to form a rigid crystal structure. LaMnO_3-based perovskite-type oxides are known to display metal deficient nonstoichiometry under oxygen rich atmospheres. The defect structure related to this nonstoichiometry has been a big unsolved problem. Neutron and X-ray diffraction studies could not reveal the position of defects whether on A-site only or on both A- and B-site. Moreover, there is no clear experimental evidence whether the predominant defect is oxygen interstitial or metal vacancy. This project aims to clarify the nature of defects in the perovskite-type oxides with particular focus on the metal deficient nonstoichiometry of LaMnO_3.
Measurements were made on volume variation of dense LaMnO_3 with the variation of oxygen partial pressure between 0.0001 and 1 atm by a dilatometer. A sample of 15 mm in length expands with oxidation and contracts with reduction for 10 〜 20 μm in 10 days. A high temperature XRD analysis gives the change of lattice volume in the inverse direction. This result infers the predominant defect of metal deficient LaMnO_3 as metal vacancy.
Since the diffusion of ions proceeds via vacancy, the diffusivity of A- and B-site ions are measured to compare the defect concentration of both sites. As an example of oxygen deficient perovskite-type oxides, YCrO_3 was selected and impurity diffusion coefficient of La on A-site and Mn on B-site were measured. Unexpectedly, the diffusion coefficient of La and Mn was essentially the same, suggesting that the concentration of vacancy on A- and B-site are the same. As to the metal deficient LaMnO_3, impurity difusion on B-site was found smaller than that on A-site by several orders of magnitude. In the metal deficient LaMnO_3, vacancies are predominantly formed on A-site.
