Structural and optical properties of La2NiTiO6 double pervoskite

Abstract

Among multifunctional La2BB’O6 (B/B’ are transition metals) with d6-d0 nature, double perovskites, La2NiTiO6 has recently received significant attention due to its rich physics and prospects in technological applications. In the present study, La2NiTiO6 (LNTO) was synthesized via citrate route. The profile analysis of room temperature X-ray diffraction data emphasized on the formation of single phase monoclinic (P21/n) LNTO ceramics. While, in order to optimize the type of band-to-band transition in the synthesized sample, the optical absorbance spectra recorded in the wave length range (200-1100) nm.
