Figure 8
Diffractograms of the La0.9 sample during the reduction with wet H2 at increasing temperature. The perovskite structure (peaks labelled `P'; for the respective hkl indices, cf. Fig. 2) stayed intact over the whole temperature range and no La2O3 phase was formed. A small peak of elemental Fe appeared (green border), first clearly seen at 625 °C, indicating Fe nanoparticle exsolution. |
