Abstract

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Raman scattering, and neutron- and x-ray-diffraction experiments were performed in polycrystalline samples of La2Ni0.5Li0.5O4 as a function of temperature. Structural studies confirm a partial cation ordering of Ni and Li at the metal sites. As the temperature decreases, EPR measurements show an increasing g-value anisotropy (g⊥ - g∥) and neutron and x-ray-diffraction experiments an increase of the c/a ratio. These results are interpreted in terms of the stabilization of the Ni3+(3d7) 2A1g low-spin configuration in the NiO6 Jahn-Teller distorted octahedra.
