“…Moreover, the replacement of larger host cations (Ni 3+ with an ionic radius of 0.7 Å) with smaller dopant cations (Co 3+ with an ionic radius of 0.54 Å) results in a reduction of the interplanar distance. This substitution, in turn, leads to a slight shift of the diffraction peaks toward higher diffraction angles which demonstrates that Co has been incorporated into the lattice of perovskite successfully in LNC 0.05 O, and LNC 0.10 O samples (see Figure b). , Interestingly, as can be observed in the LNC 0.15 O sample, a reverse effect occurs, causing a shift of the diffraction peaks toward lower diffraction angles. This shift is due to the specific effects of Co 3+ doping in different proportions, leading to varying interplanar spacings and, consequently, altering the XRD patterns.…”
