Abstract

For the first time Li+ cations have been localized within the perovskite structure of the fast Liconductor La0 5Li0.5TiO3 from neutron powder diffraction data. Li cations are fourfold oxygen coordinated, located in the middle of the almost square windows determined by every four TiO6 octahedra, far away from the 12-fold coordinated La vacancy sites that, nevertheless, take part of the path for Li motion across the solid. The large multiplicity of the sites where Li reside (1/6 occupied) accounts for the huge ionic conductivity of this promising Li-conducting material.
