Abstract
The structural properties of the LaxSm1-xFeO3 trimetallic orthoferrites are described on the basis of a Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction pattern . Ultrafine powders of these oxides are prepared by the thermal decompositi on at low temperatures of the corresponding hexacyanoncomplexes. Single-pha se compounds are obtained. Their structural parameters can be tuned by prop erly changing the Sm/La stoichiometric ratio. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd . All rights reserved.
