Abstract:
Structural distortions arising from the condensations of two essential kinds of phonon modes: the triply degenerate rotational modes (phix, phiy, phiz) of MnO(6) and the doubly degenerate Jahn-Teller active modes (Q1, Q2) have been systematically investigated in the perovskite manganites. Microstructural features associated with certain types of distortions have been observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In RMnO(3) and La(Sr)(2)NiO(4), we characterize the local structure, charge ordered states and orbital ordering by means of low-temperature TEM. We present direct evidence that the stripe modulation in La(Sr)(2)NiO(4) is indeed one-dimensional within each NiO(2) plane. Several typical kinds of defect structures, including antiphase boundaries and the 90 degrees -twin domains, appear commonly in the charge-ordered states.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
