Praseodymium Deficiency Effects on the Physical Properties of Pr0.7−x□Sr0.3MnO3 Perovskite Manganites
The praseodymium deficiency effects on the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties of the lacunar perovskite manganite oxides Pr0.7−x□xSr0.3MnO3 (0≤x≤0.23) have been investigated. This study is of great interest because it gives more information on the role of the Mn cation oxidation degree....

Summary: | The praseodymium deficiency effects on the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties of the lacunar perovskite manganite oxides Pr0.7−x□xSr0.3MnO3 (0≤x≤0.23) have been investigated. This study is of great interest because it gives more information on the role of the Mn cation oxidation degree. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns are indexed in the rhombohedral perovskite structure with the R3c space group for x=0 to 0.1 and in the orthorhombic one with the Pbnm space group for x=0.15 to 0.23. Magnetization and resistivity measurements versus temperature show that all of our samples exhibit a semiconducting paramagnetic–metallic ferromagnetic transition when the temperature decreases. |
