Abstract
Using 7Li NMR line-shape analysis, spin-lattice relaxation measurements and stimulated-echo spectroscopy, we investigate the lithium ionic jump motion in the garnet Li5La3Nb2O12. Results for two samples are compared, which were annealed at 850âC (GR-850) and at 900âC (GR-900), respectively. All 7Li NMR data consistently show that two lithium species with distinguishable dynamical behaviors coexist in each of the samples. While the less mobile species is the majority component in GR-850, the more mobile species is the majority component in GR-900. 7Li NMR stimulated-echo spectroscopy provides straightforward access to the correlation functions describing the jumps of the respective majority component in both samples. From the temperature-dependent correlation times, we obtain activation energies of 56 and 32kJmol-1 for GR-850 and GR-900, respectively. For both samples, the correlation functions substantially deviate from simple exponential behavior, indicating a high complexity of the lithium ionic motion in Li5La3Nb2O12.
