Аннотация:Mössbauer spectroscopy and Xray diffraction have been used to study structural transitions in the LaMnO3 + δ compound doped with 5 at % Ba, annealed in vacuum, and cooled under different conditions: rapid cooling (quenching into liquid nitrogen), fast cooling, and slow cooling to room temperature. It has been shown experimentally that vacuum annealing and subsequent fast cooling result in the transition of the rhombohedral structure (δ > 0) of the synthesized compound to a mixture of three orthorhombic phases PnmaI, PnmaII, and PnmaII*, with stoichiometric composition in oxygen (δ = 0). Then, an unusual fluctuation change in the partial ratio of the phases is observed depending on the vacuum annealing time. The fluctuations disappear upon slow cooling and quenching of the sample.
