Jam. Vanroosmalen et al., PHASES IN THE PEROVSKITE-TYPE LAMNO3-MN2O3 PHASE-DIAGRAM(DELTA SOLID SOLUTION AND THE LA2O3), Journal of solid state chemistry, 114(2), 1995, pp. 516-523
The structural behavior of LaMnO3+delta is described. One rhombohedral
and three different orthorhombic X-ray patterns have been observed. T
he largest influence on the structure is the overall amount of Mn4+, b
ut the La:Mn ratio and the temperature also have a significant influen
ce. In the pseudobinary La2O3-Mn2O3 phase diagram, LaMnO3+delta is the
only compound containing both La and Mn. This is not a line compound
since a solubility range was observed on both the La-rich and the Mn-r
ich sides. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
