ABSTRACTWe report on the atomic ordering of B-site transition-metals and magnetic properties in double-perovskite oxides, La2CrFeO6 (LCFO) and La2VMnO6 (LVMO), which have never been reported to exist in ordered forms. These double-perovskite oxides are particularly interesting because of possible ferromagnetism (expected from the Kanamori-Goodenough rule for LCFO) and half-metallic antiferromagnetism (predicted for LVMO). Using pulsed-laser deposition technique with single solid-solution targets, we have prepared epitaxial films in ordered forms. Despite similar ionic characters of constituent transition-metals in each compound, the maximum B-site order attained was surprisingly high, ∼90% for LCFO and ∼80% for LVMO, suggesting a significant role of epitaxial stabilization in the spontaneous ordering process. Magnetization and valence state characterizations revealed that the magnetic ground state of both compounds was coincidently ferrimagnetic with saturation magnetization of ∼2μBper formula unit, unlike those predicted theoretically. In addition, they were found to be insulating with optical band-gaps of 1.6 eV and 0.9 eV for LCFO and LVMO, respectively. Our results present a wide opportunity to explore novel magnetic properties of binary transition-metal perovskites upon epitaxial stabilization of the ordered phase.

In this study, nanosized La1-xCaxFeO3 (0.00≤x≤0.40) compounds prepared via sol-gel method followed by heat treatment at 1100oC for 24 hours are studied. Crystal structure, microstructure, surface morphology and temperature-dependent resistivity of the samples are investigated. TEM investigation reveals nanoparticles with an average size of 35nm produced from the sol-gel process. The crystal structure of the compounds belongs to an orthorhombically distorted perovskite structure with Pbnm space group. Lattice distortion and cation size mismatch increase with an increase in Ca and particle and grain growth are suppressed by Ca doping. Electrical conduction is explained via thermally activated hopping of small polarons. Unit cell volume, charge ordering temperature, and activation energy for small polarons decrease linearly with an increase in cation size mismatch. Room temperature resistivity decreases with Ca doping and gets its minimum value for 30% Ca at which the orthorhombic distortion is maximum.

Oxygen-deficient double perovskite oxides PrBaCo2O6−δ exhibit highly active hydrogen evolution reaction catalysis, which is associated with multiple factors: oxygen deficiency, high Co valence, and A-site cation ordering.
