Abstract: | The effect of partial substitution of molybdenum by phosphorus on the global and local structural arrangement of the fast oxide-ion conductor La(2)Mo(2)O(9) (LAMOX) has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction as well as (139)La and (31)P solid state NMR. The diffraction patterns show that La(2)Mo(2-y)P(y)O(9-y/2) forms a solid solution at low phosphorus concentrations, and that there is a structural phase transition upon increasing phosphorus concentration. This phase transition is also reflected in (139)La and (31)P NMR spectra. The possibility to excite (31)P multiple-quantum coherences of one of the (31)P NMR signals gives evidence of an accumulation of phosphorus atoms on neighbouring Mo-type sites already before formation of three-dimensional precipitates. On the basis of our X-ray and NMR results we propose a possible structural arrangement of the compound La(2)Mo(2-y)P(y)O(9-y/2) that explains the experimental observations by crystal twinning. |
