Abstract
Mid-infrared, far-infrared, and Raman spectra for Ni 1−x Co x O y indicated the systematic variation from a spinel-type (x=1.0) to an inverse spinel-type (x=0.67) lattice, through a multiphase transition region, to an NaCl-type (x<0.25) structure. Further analysis reveals that a decrease in x in this system is accompanied by the formation of octahedral/Ni 2+ , which, in the case of spinel compositions Ni 1−x Co x O 4/3 (x=0.67 to 1.0), results in substitution of Co 3+ into tetrahedral sites and/or the redistribution of charge around some of the oxygen ions. The proposed transition region explains the observed break in continuity, at around x=0.5, in the previously reported resistivity data for nickelcobalt oxide films.Keywords
