Abstract

Lithium ion was successfully introduced into La_1/3NbO ₃ with an A-site-deficient perovskite-type structure. The crystal structure and transport properties of La_1/3Li_xNbO ₃ were investigated as a function of Li content (x = 0-0.59). The lattice parameters of La_1/3Li_xNbO₃ with an orthorhombic cell were enlarged with increasing Li content for x ≤ 0.3, and the structure was transformed to a pseudo-tetragonal cell for x = 0.44. The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity gradually changed from insulating to metallic with increasing x, and thermoelectric power measurement indicated that the carriers were electrons. In X-ray photoelectron spectra of the incorporated samples, Nb_3d⁴⁺ peaks appeared in addition to Nb_3d⁵⁺ peaks, which was consistent with the change of the transport properties. In spite of the success of metallization, no diamagnetic signal indicative of supercondcutivity was observed in La _1/3Li_0.59NbO₃ down to 1.8K.
