Notes:
The structure and electrical properties of an A-site-deficient perovskite compound found in the La2/3TiO3-La1/3NbO3 system were investigated. The composition of the perovskite compound seemed to be very close to La0.633(Ti0.90Nb0.10)O3. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a superstructure with a doubled c-axis parameter, resulting from an ordered arrangement of the A-site cation vacancies. Impedance measurements on the compound showed that La0.633(Ti0.90Nb0.10)O3 had high ionic conductivity at relatively low temperature (〈770 K) and increased electronic conduction at high temperature (〉770 K). The bulk ionic conductivity was comparable with that of La0.683(Ti0.95Al0.05)O3, which has the highest ionic conductivity among the La-(Ti,Al)-O perovskite compounds.
