“…However, the formation of Sr and Mg poor LaGaO 3 , could not be observed using the XRD pattern. Pure LaGaO is orthorhombic (space group Pbnm ), with a=5.5245 A, b=5.4922 A, and c=7.7740 A at room temperature, whereas LSGM (La 0.9 Sr 0.1 Ga 0.8 Mg 0.2 O 3 ) has been reported to be orthorhombic (space group Imma ) with a=5.5179 A, b=7.8200 A, and c=5.5394 A 17,42,43 . The difference in the crystal structures of the phases results in significantly different XRD patterns, which would be clearly identifiable in the XRD patterns obtained of the samples.…”
