Abstract

A deuterated n=1 Ruddlesden-Popper compound, DLnTiO4 (HLnTiO4, Ln=La, Nd and Y), was prepared by an ion-exchange reaction of Na+ ions in NaLnTiO4 with D+ ions, and its structure was analyzed by Rietveld method using powder neutron diffraction data. The structure analyses showed that DLaTiO4 and DNdTiO4 crystallized in the space group P 4 / nmm with a=3.7232(1) and c=12.3088(1) Å, and a=3.7039(1) and c=12.0883(1) Å, respectively. On the other hand, DYTiO4 crystallized in the space group P 21 / c with a=11.460(1), b=5.2920(4), c=5.3628(5) Å and β=90.441(9)°. The loaded protons were found to statistically occupy the sites around an apical oxygen of TiO6 octahedron in the interlayer of these compounds, rather than Na atom sites in NaLnTiO4.
