Phase composition and disorder in La2(Sn,Ti)2O7 ceramics
Abstract
An NMR crystallographic approach, involving the combination of <sup>119</sup>Sn NMR spectroscopy, XRD and DFT calculations, is demonstrated for the characterisation of La<sub>2</sub>Sn<sub>2–x</sub>Ti<sub>x</sub>O<sub>7</sub> ceramics. A phase change from pyrochlore (La<sub>2</sub>Sn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>) to a layered perovskite phase (La<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>) is predicted (by radius ratio rules) to occur when x ≈ 0.95. However, the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy to the local environment is able to reveal a significant two-phase region is present, extending from x = 1.8 to ~0.2, with limited solid solution at the two extremes, in broad agreement with powder XRD measurements. DFT calculations reveal that there is preferential site substitution of Sn in La<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, with calculated shifts for Sn substitution onto Ti1 and Ti2 sites (in the “bulk” perovskite layers) in better agreement with experiment than those for Ti3 and Ti4 (“edge” sites). Substitution onto these two sites also produces structural models with lower relative enthalpy. As the Sn content decreases, there is a further preference for substitution onto Sn2. In contrast, the relative intensities of the spectral resonances suggest that Ti substitution into the pyrochlore phase is random, although only a limited solid solution is observed (up to ~7% Ti). DFT calculations predict very similar <sup>119</sup>Sn shifts for Sn substitution into the two proposed models of La<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> (monoclinic (P2<sub>1</sub>) and orthorhombic (Pna2<sub>1</sub>)), indicating it is not possible to distinguish between them. However, the relative energy of the Sn-substituted orthorhombic phase was higher than that of substituted monoclinic cells, suggesting that the latter is the more likely structure.
