RT Journal Article T1 Microwave-Assisted Synthesis, Microstructure, and Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Cobaltites A1 Gutiérrez Seijas, Julia A1 Prado Gonjal, Jesús de la Paz A1 Ávila Brande, David A1 Terry, Ian A1 Morán Miguélez, Emilio A1 Schmidt, Rainer AB The series of perovskite rare-earth (RE) doped cobaltites (RE)CoO3 (RE = La–Dy) was prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis. The crystal structure undergoes a change of symmetry depending on the size of the RE cation. LaCoO3 is rhombohedral, S.G. R3̅c (No. 167), while, for the rest of the RE series (Pr–Dy), the symmetry is orthorhombic, S.G. Pnma (No. 62). The crystal structure obtained by X-ray diffraction was confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which yielded a good match between experimental and simulated images. It is further shown that the well-known magnetism in LaCoO3, which involves a thermally induced Co3+ (d6) low spin to intermediate or high spin state transition, is strongly modified by the RE cation, and a rich variety of magnetic order has been detected across the series.
