Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By utilizing the solid-state reaction at elevated temperature and pressure, we succeeded in synthesizing new metastable oxides, CuNbO3 and CuTaO3, which possess the perovskite structure. The second-harmonic generation measurements reveal that those compounds have a polar structure. It was found that the resultant compounds undergo thermal decomposition reaction to form both CuO and A-site ordered quadruple perovskite oxides with some of the A-sites having cation vacancies. The reaction enthalpy was evaluated by using the thermal analysis. We also examined the thermal decomposition of CuNbO3 obtained by the solid-state reaction at ambient pressure and compared the thermally induced phase transition with the above-mentioned metastable CuNbO3. The present thermal decomposition reaction is a topochemical reaction with the elimination of cations, which has been little reported thus far.
