Popis: Here we demonstrate the gradual structural transformation from the monoclinic I 2/ m to tetragonal I 4/ m , cubic Fm -3 m and hexagonal P 6 3 / mmc structure upon the isovalent larger-for-smaller A-site cation substitution in the B-site ordered double-perovskite system (Sr 1−x Ba x ) 2 FeSbO 6 . This is the same transformation sequence previously observed up to Fm -3 m upon heating the parent Sr 2 FeSbO 6 phase to high temperatures. High-pressure treatment, on the other hand, transforms the hexagonal P 6 3 / mmc structure of the other end member Ba 2 FeSbO 6 back to the cubic Fm -3 m structure. Hence we may conclude that chemical pressure, physical pressure and decreasing temperature all work towards the same direction in the (Sr 1−x Ba x ) 2 FeSbO 6 system. Also shown is that with increasing Ba-for-Sr substitution level, i.e. with decreasing chemical pressure effect, the degree-of-order among the B-site cations, Fe and Sb, decreases.
