摘要
Ruddlesden–Popper oxides, (AO)(ABO3) n , occupy a prominent place in the landscape of materials research because of their intriguing potential applications. Compositional modifications to the cation sublattices, A or B, have been explored in order to achieve enhanced functionalities. However, changes to the anionic sublattice have been much less explored. In this work, new oxygen-deficient manganese Ruddlesden–Popper-related phases, La0.5Ca2.5Mn2O6.5 and La0.5Ca2.5Mn2O6.25, have been synthesized by controlled reduction of the fully oxidized n = 2 term La0.5Ca2.5Mn2O7. A complete structural and compositional characterization, by means of neutron diffraction, electron diffraction and atomically resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy techniques, allows the proposition of a topotactic reduction pathway through preferential oxygen removal in the [MnO2] layers along [031] and [0{\bar 1}3] directions. The gradual decrease of the Mn oxidation state, accommodated by short-range ordering of anionic vacancies, reasonably explains the breaking of ferromagnetic interactions reinforcing the emergence of antiferromagnetic ones. Additional short-range order–disorder phenomena of La and Ca cations have been detected in the reduced La0.5Ca2.5Mn2O7−δ, as previously reported in the parent compound.
