Abstract

We explore, in detail, the remarkable influence of spin-state transition - low (S = 1/2) to high spin (S = 5/2) - on crystallographic, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties in Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta ceramic. The low to high spin transition takes place at T* similar to 600 K with a rather broad transition zone of nearly 200 K. We find that the electrical resistivity, mechanical stiffness and toughness, thermal expansion coefficient, and the crystallographic structure exhibit clear anomalous features around T*. The transition, however, appears to be isostructural Pm (3) over barm -> Pm (3) over barm (cubic -> cubic). Significant influence of spin-state transition on a variety of properties could have serious implications for several applications ranging from magnetic sensors to electrocatalysts to ion separation membranes.
