Description

The Ln1-xSrxCoO3-δ solid solution oxides crystallise in perovskite-type ABO3 structures with a lanthanide ion (e.g. La3+) or an alkaline earth ion (e.g. Sr2+) at the A site and with a cobalt ion at the B site. These oxides are subject of many studies because of their unique physical properties. It was recently shown that the presence of oxygen vacancies changes the valence state of Co ion. The oxygen content may thus influence the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of these materials. Ln1-xSrxCoO3-δ undergoes phase transitions which are dependent on the kind and substitution amount of the lanthanide ion. The crystal structure may depend on the oxygen content. In this study, the pressure dependence of lattice parameters is determined in situ by X-ray diffraction at a high-pressure (HP) dedicated synchrotron beamline for oxygen deficient samples of SrCoO2.88 and La0.33Sr0.67CoO2.85
