An overall survey of the structural and magnetic features of the La<sub>2</sub>NiO<sub>4+ delta </sub> system is presented as a result of neutron diffraction experiments. The stoichiometric compound ( delta =0) presents two structural phase transitions. At T<sub>0</sub> approximately=770 K, La<sub>2</sub>NiO<sub>4</sub> transforms from tetragonal (I4/mmm) to orthorhombic (Bmab); at T<sub>1</sub> approximately=80 K, from orthorhombic to a new tetragonal (P4<sub>2</sub>/ncm) phase. Associated with this second phase transition a strong microstrain produces anisotropic broadening of Bragg reflections. La<sub>2</sub>NiO<sub>4</sub> is three-dimensional (3D) antiferromagnetically ordered at room temperature (T<sub>N</sub>=330 K). A weak ferromagnetic component appears below T<sub>1</sub>. Oxygen excess suppress the 3D magnetic ordering and the structural phase transformations, giving rise to a non-stoichiometric compound with interstitial oxygens. A tentative phase diagram is proposed. |
