Abstract

The electrical conductivity of La0.5−xSr0.5FeO3−δ, investigated as a function of the nominal cation deficiency in the A-sublattice, x, varying from 0 to 0.02, has demonstrated a nonlinear dependence. An increase in the x value from 0 to 0.01 resulted in a considerable increase in electrical conductivity, which was shown to be attributed mainly to an increase in the mobility of the charge carriers. A combined analysis of the defect equilibrium and the charge transport in La0.5−xSr0.5FeO3−δ revealed the increase in the mobility of oxygen ions, electrons, and holes by factors of ~1.5, 1.3, and 1.7, respectively. The observed effect is assumed to be conditioned by a variation in the oxide structure under the action of the cationic vacancy formation. It was found that the cation deficiency limit in La0.5−xSr0.5FeO3−δ did not exceed 0.01. A small overstep of this limit was shown to result in the formation of (Sr,La)Fe12O19 impurity, which even in undetectable amounts reduced the conductivity of the material. The presence of (Sr,La)Fe12O19 impurity was revealed by X-ray diffraction on the ceramic surface after heat treatment at 1300 °C. It is most likely that the formation of traces of the liquid phase under these conditions is responsible for the impurity migration to the ceramic surface. The introduction of a cation deficiency of 0.01 into the A-sublattice of La0.5−xSr0.5FeO3−δ can be recommended as an effective means to enhance both the oxygen ion and the electron conductivity and improve ceramic sinterability.
