The structures of LaCr0.6Ni0.4O3 and LaCr0.6Ni0.4O2.8 have been determ
ined by Rietveld refinement of neutron powder diffraction data. LaCr0.
6Ni0.4O3 adopts the orthorhombic GdFeO3 structure with space group Pnm
a, a = 5.4735(1) Angstrom, b = 7.7568(2) Angstrom, c = 5.5105(1) Angst
rom, V = 233.96 Angstrom(3), Z = 4. LaCr0.6Ni0.4O2.8 is rhombohedral,
with space group R(3) over barc$, and a = 5.5264(3) Angstrom, c = 13.2
