Abstract

The crystal structure of the C polymorph of the solid solutions, Li(0.5-3x)RE(0.5+x) TiO3 (RE = Pr, Nd) determined from powder neutron diffraction using Rietveld refinement, is an ordered perovskite of the GdFeO3 type, The structures of both phases are similar: the A sites contain (0.5+x) RE cations and (0.5-3x) off-centre lithium ions, with 2x sites vacant. Orthorhombic unit cell, RE = Nd: a = 5.43661 (7) Angstrom, b = 7.6647(1) Angstrom, c = 5.39752(7) Angstrom; RE = Pr: a = 5.43793(5) Angstrom, b = 7.66828(8) Angstrom, c = 5.40769(5) Angstrom; space group Pnma (no. 62), Conduction occurs by a Li+ vacancy mechanism through interconnecting A sites, avoiding those sites that are occupied by the RE cations.
