We present a neutron powder diffraction study reporting structural evidences of a spin- state crossover beginning at Tss≈575 K in the highly distorted ErCoO3 cobaltite, based on measurements in the temperature range 100 K - 1000 K. Different interrelated changes in the structural evolution upon heat...
