Polycrystalline samples of double layered (DL) manganite system La 1.2( Sr 1-x Ba x)1.8 Mn 2 O 7(0.0≤×≤0.4) were prepared by the sol-gel method. The anisotropic lattice expansion is observed with the substitution of Ba 2+ into Sr 2+ sites. The electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements were carried out over the temperature range 4.2 K–300 K. The substitution of Ba results in the suppression of T IM , insulator-to-metal transition temperature. A low temperature upturn of resistivity is seen in all the samples of the system, which is attributed to the spin-glass-like transition. The conduction mechanism above T IM is explained by Mott variable range hopping (VRH) mechanism. The variation of MR with temperature and applied magnetic field is discussed. From the temperature dependent MR curves, it is observed that the large MR values are present over a wide temperature range and the maximum MR values occur at [Formula: see text]. The x=0.4 sample exhibits ~31% of MR with the application of a mere 0.4 T field at 5 K, which accounts for ~35% enhancement of MR of parent compound (~23% of MR% at 0.4 T at 5 K). The MR — H data is fitted to the power law ρ = ρ0-αHn, and it is found that the low temperature MR varies as square root of the applied magnetic field, as expected in conventional metals.

Abstract Polycrystalline bulk samples of double layered (DL) colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganites R1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 (R = La, Pr, Sm) were prepared by sol-gel method to study the effect of size of lanthanide ion on their magnetotransport properties. The electrical resistivity of the samples was investigated in the temperature range of 70 K to 300 K at different magnetic fields. The samples LSMO and PSMO show insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) behavior, while SSMO sample exhibits insulating behavior in the entire temperature range with a very large value of resistivity. The insulator-to-metal transition temperature (TIM) decreases from 123 K (LSMO) to 90 K (PSMO) and disappears in SSMO sample. To explain the electrical transport above TIM, the temperature dependent resistivity data (T > TIM) of all the samples were fitted to the equations of different conduction models. The results indicate that the conduction at T > TIM is due to Mott variable range hopping (VRH) mechanism in the LSMO and PSMO samples, while Efros-Shkloskii (ES) type of VRH model dominates the conduction process in the SSMO sample. All the three samples show increasing magnetoresistance (MR) even below TIM and the maximum MR is shown by LSMO (39 % at 75 K, 3 T).

In this research, the investigation of sensing properties of non-stoichiometric WO3 (WO3−x) film towards some volatile organic compounds (VOC) (namely: Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone) and ammonia gas are reported. Sensors were tested at several temperatures within the interval ranging from a relatively low temperature of 60 up to 270 °C. Significant variation of selectivity, which depended on the operational temperature of sensor, was observed. Here, the reported WO3/WO3–x-based sensing material opens an avenue for the design of sensors with temperature-dependent sensitivity, which can be applied in the design of new gas- and/or VOC-sensing systems that are dedicated for the determination of particular gas- and/or VOC-based analyte concentration in the mixture of different gases and/or VOCs, using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).

Abstract Lead free hybrid halide perovskite (CH3NH3)3Bi2Br9 has been successfully synthesized by mechano-chemical method. The microstructure analysis by Rietveld’s refinement method revealed that the crystal belongs to trigonal system with space group P3 ̅m1. The obtained microstructural parameters are well in agreement with the previously published data. Temperature-dependent ac conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, and complex dielectric properties have been investigated in detail. The negative temperature coefficient of resistance behaviour reveals the semiconducting nature of the materials. The complex impedance spectroscopy also supports the semiconducting nature of the sample with activation energy for conduction ~0.38 eV.
