β¦ Synopsis
Using both powder and single crystal neutron diffraction we have determined the room temperature structure of Pr 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 from melt-grown crystalline material. Contrary to previous measurements on polycrystalline samples we find the room temperature structure of Pr 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 is tetragonal, space group F4/mmc (a β«Ψβ¬ 7.64093(5) A Λ, c β«Ψβ¬ 7.79104(8) A Λ). The structure of Pr 0.5 Sr 0.5 MnO 3 is related to the ideal primitive cubic perovskite structure by a single correlated rotation of MnO 6 octahedra about the c axis. We find that MnO 6 octahedra exhibit a small Jahn-Teller distortion (β¬(Mn-O) Θ 0.02 A Λ).
