Abstract

A new 1:2 ordered perovskite La(Li1/3Ti2/3)O3 has been synthesized via solid-state techniques. At temperature >1185°C, Li and Ti are randomly distributed on the B-sites and the X-ray powder patterns can be indexed in a tilted (b-b-c+) Pbnm orthorhombic cell (a=ac√2=5.545Å, b=ac√2=5.561Å, c=2ac=7.835Å). However, for T≤1175°C, a 1:2 layered ordering of Li and Ti along 〈111〉c yields a structure with a P21/c monoclinic cell with a=ac√6=9.604Å, b=ac√2=5.552Å, c=ac3√2=16.661Å, β=125.12°. While this type of order is well known in the A2+(B2+1/3B5+2/3)O 3 family of niobates and tantalates, La(Li1/3Ti2/3)O3 is the first example of a titanate perovskite with a 1:2 ordering of cations on the B-sites.
