Abstract

In the present work, LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 and La2NiTiO6 nanoparticles were synthesized by the modified Pechini method. LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 was calcined at 1073 K for 17 h or 100 h, while La2NiTiO6 was calcined at 1273 K for 135 h. The double perovskite calcined at 1073 K for 17 h presented orthorhombic symmetry with Pbnm space group, mean particle size was 31.9 ± 1 nm, random ordering of Ni2+ and Ti4+ cations, Néel temperature close to 15 K, and magnetic moment of 1.29 . By increasing the calcination time, this material showed the same symmetry and space group, a mean particle size of 50.7 ± 2 nm, short-range ordering of Ni2+ and Ti4+ cations, Néel temperature around 12 K, and magnetic moment of 0.96 . La2NiTiO6 presented a monoclinic crystal structure, with P21/n space group, mean particle size of 80.0 ± 5 nm, rock salt ordering of Ni2+ and Ti4+, Néel temperature of approximately 23 K, and magnetic moment of 2.75 .
