摘要：

We present powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction data as evidence for a monoclinic distortion in the low-spin (S=0) and intermediate spin states (S=1) of LaCoO3. The alternation of short and long bonds in the ab plane indicates the presence of e(g) orbital ordering induced by a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion. We observe an increase of the Jahn-Teller distortion with temperature in agreement with a thermally activated behavior of the Co3+ ions from a low-spin ground state to an intermediate-spin excited state.
