We report the modifications in the transport and magnetotransport in La 0.7 Ca 0.3 Mn 1-x Al x O 3 (LCMAO); x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.1 polycrystalline manganites synthesized by conventional ceramic method. XRD studies reveal the single phasic orthorhombic structure for all the Al -doped LCMO samples without any detectable impurities and structural phase transition. SEM micrographs show island-like grain growth in all the samples studied. Transport measurements indicate an increase in resistivity and decrease in metal-insulator (M-I) transition temperature (TP) with the increase in Al -concentration. Field and temperature dependent variation in MR for all the Al (x) doped LCMO samples has been discussed in detail in the light of substitution induced structural disorder.

Micro-sized rods show a lower phase transition temperature than nano-sized rods, and this is interpreted on the basis of nucleating defects.

The high-pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction results for EuSnP are reported with no structural phase transition below ∼6.2 GPa. Temperature-dependent resistivity measurements up to 2.15 GPa indicate that the antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN) is significantly enhanced under pressure.

Lanthanum calcium based perovskites are found to be advantageous for the possible applications in magnetic sensors/reading heads, cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells, and frequency switching devices. In the present investigation La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites were synthesised through solid state reaction and sintered at four different temperatures such as 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200˚ C. X-ray powder diffraction pattern confirms that the prepared La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites have orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. Ultrasonic in-situ measurements have been carried out on the La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites over wide range of temperature and elastic constants such as bulk modulus of the prepared La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites was obtained as function of temperature. The temperature-dependent bulk modulus has shown an interesting anomaly at the metal-insulator phase transition. The metal insulator transition temperature derived from temperature-dependent bulk modulus increases from temperature 352˚ C to 367˚ C with the increase of sintering temperature from 900 to 1200˚ C.
