In-situ observation of structural- and resistance-changes by redox reactions

• XRD chamber: Nextron XRD Micro Probe System

• Sample: SrFe0.8Co0.2O2.5 on 001 SrTiO3

• Beam line: Pohang Accelerator Laboratory 3D beam line

• Measurement: Real-time XRD and resistance measurements in supply of N2 (2.5 hrs), O2 (6 hrs), and N2 (2.5 hrs) in sequence. Flow rate was 20 sccm.

• Results: The lattice constant of SrFe0.8Co0.2O2.5 thin film shifted sequentially to 3.99 Å (N2), 3.90 Å (O2), and 4.00 Å (N2). Associated resistance changes is observed due to topotactic transformations.
