Phase separation during the topotactic reduction of the pyrochlore Y2Ti2O7

The topotactic reduction of the pyrochlore Y2Ti 2O7 with CaH2 is described. Neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data reveal the reduction yields mixtures of two reduced phases: Y2Ti2O6.48(2), a material from which oxide ions have been removed from the 48f anion site, and Y2Ti 2O5.90(6), which exhib...

description The topotactic reduction of the pyrochlore Y2Ti 2O7 with CaH2 is described. Neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data reveal the reduction yields mixtures of two reduced phases: Y2Ti2O6.48(2), a material from which oxide ions have been removed from the 48f anion site, and Y2Ti 2O5.90(6), which exhibits a small amount of cation antisite disorder and a complicated defect anion structure. An electronic origin for the observed phase separation is explored. Magnetic data collected from reduced samples are consistent with delocalized metallic behavior.
