Crystal structure and oxygen nonstoichiometry of oxides in the Ba-Me-Me’-Y-O (Me, Me’=Co, Fe) system

Polycrystalline BaМe1-xYxO3-δ(Me=Co, Fe) samples were synthesized by a conventional route and glycerol–nitrate technique. According XRD patterns of single phase solid solutions BaCo1-xYxO3-δ (0.1≤x≤0.4) and BaFe0.9-yY0.1CoyO3-δ(0.05≤y≤0.15) were indexed using Pm3m space group. The unit cell parameters were refined using Rietveld full-profile analysis. Oxygen nonstoichiometry of these solid solutions was measured by means of thermogravimetric technique within the temperature range 298–1273 K in air
