“…The Ba 2 L n SbO 6 perovskites combine an alkali metal (Ba), a lanthanide (L n ), a semi-metal (Sb), and a non-metal (O) -a combination of them would have interesting physical properties. A number of analogues of these double perovskites have been reported with general formula Ba 2 L n MO 6 , where M represent Nb, Ta, Mo, Ir, Ru, Sb, and Bi characterized by a range of crystal structure and properties [4,5]. Blasse first synthesized the Ba 2 L n SbO 6 compounds in 1965; more details can be found elsewhere [4][5][6][7][8].…”
