“…16 Previous assessments of the La-O, Cr-O, La-Cr-O, and Cr-Mn-O oxide databases are adopted from Povoden et al, [17][18][19][20][21] with some modifications denoted in the supplement file to this paper, LSCM_v1.0.tcm (ThermoCalc macrofile), and the La-Sr-Mn-O oxide database is taken from Grundy et al, [22][23][24][25][26][27] also with the following slight modification: Grundy et al 23,24 allowed Mn 31 on the A-site of LSM to reproduce experimental oxygen nonstoichiometries under low oxygen partial pressures. Due to large differences between the ionic radii of La 31 and Mn 31 and possible coordination numbers (1.5 Å for 12-fold coordinated La 31 , 0.785 Å for at maximum 6-fold coordinated Mn 31 ), 28 we omit Mn 31 on the A-site. With this manipulation of the original model, still the results of calculated oxygen nonstoichiometry of LSM perovskite in equilibrium with MnO compare well with experimental data.…”
