We synthesized the polycrystalline manganite of La5/8Ca3/8MnO3with three different manganese routes prepared through a solid state reaction method. The effects of the manganese route selection on the structure, electrical transport and magneto-transport properties were examined in this study. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM to identify their structure and morphology. XRD analysis confirmed that all samples were in single phase with orthorhombic structure and belonged to the Pnma space group. The average grain sized samples with manganese route of Mn2O3and MnCO3had a grain size of 1.2–8.7 μm and 2–7.5 μm, respectively. For the MnO2route, the sample had a small melt-like shape with higher porosity. The metal–insulator transition temperature, TMI, for LCMO ( Mn2O3), LCMO ( MnO2) and LCMO ( MnCO3) samples were 270 K, 266 K and 258 K, respectively. All the samples showed negative magneto-resistance with significant increase in value near the TMItemperature. The highest CMR (colossal magneto-resistance) ratio was found in LCMO ( Mn2O3), -22.06% at 270 K, followed by -16.69% for LCMO ( MnO2) at 80 K, and 15.2% for LCMO ( MnCO3) at 100 K in a 1 T magnetic field.

X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements have been carried out on La 1-x Ag x MnO 3 compounds for x=0.05 to 0.30. These samples are found to be in single phase form with [Formula: see text] space group and with typical lattice parameters a=b=5.524Å and c=13.349Å for x=0.05 sample. The Mn–O–Mn bond angles and variance, σ2 are found to increase with doping. Metal-insulator transitions in the temperature range 254 to 259 K have been observed. These materials exhibit paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transitions in the vicinity of metal-insulator transition temperatures. The paramagnetic susceptibility could be analyzed using Curie–Weiss law. All the above samples exhibit colossal magneto-resistivity and its maximum value is found to be 73% for x=0.15 sample at 50 kOe magnetic field.

Synthesis of LaYO3 was carried out via conventional solid state reaction method. The polycrystalline samples were sintered at temperatures in the range of 1300 °C to 1500 °C with each deviation is 50 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the perovskite ceramic obtained its single phase at 1500 °C with ordered monoclinic perovskite structure. The pure phase sample showed 98.79 % relative density and scanning electron micrographs also proved that the porosity of the sample reduced when sample undergo sintering.

A series of GMR materials with compositional formula Re 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3, where Re = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Pr, etc. and their combinations were prepared by the solid state reaction method. All the samples were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction method and the patterns show that the samples are single phase with orthorhombic structure. Resistivity measurements were also carried out by the four probe method in the temperature range 80–300 K and from these results, Metal–Insulator (M–I) transition temperatures of the samples were obtained. Finally, the magneto-resistance measurements were also carried out as a function of magnetic field and temperature over a temperature range 80–300 K. It has been observed that the magneto-resistance of Lanthanum-based mixed compositions is better than that of pure compositions.

Ferrite materials with the general formula Ni0.7Zn0.2Cu0.1Fe1.9M0.1O4 (M=Al and Cr) are synthesized by using the solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) dielectric measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques are utilized to study the various properties of the synthesized ferrites. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure and the crystallite size is calculated by Scherrer’s formula found to be 20.3 and 12.5 nm. The magnetic properties were studied using pulse field hysteresis loop technique at room temperature. The saturation magnetization exhibit 98.71 and 91.69 emu/g for Al3+ and Cr3+ substituted Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites respectively. The magnetic permeability is increasing for chromium substituted compound in the frequency range 100 Hz to 120 MHz and significant modification in DC conductivity is explained on the basis of hopping mechanism.

Ceramic samples with the nominal composition (1-x) BaTiO3 + x Ba3Ti2YO8.5 (x = 0 - 0.4) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the lattice parameters determination indicate that the samples with x≤ 0.16 exhibit a single phase cubic perovskite structure. When x > 0.16, the system is of biphasic composites, which consist of Ba(Ti0.911Y0.089)O3 and Ba3Ti2YO8.5. The microstructure observation by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) supports the XRD result. For the biphasic composites, the dielectric constant follows the Lichtenecker relation in a wide temperature range.

In this research, influence of adding Li2CO3 (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) on electrical and magnetic properties of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (with 60% Ni and 40% Mg) ferrite has been studied. The samples are prepared by solid state reaction method and sintered at 1300∘C for 6[Formula: see text]h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show the samples belong to single-phase cubic structure without any impurity phase. The magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) of the samples have been investigated by VSM and found that the higher concentration of Li2CO3 reduces the hysteresis loss. DC resistivity increases with Li2CO3 contents whereas it decreases initially and then becomes constant at lower value with temperature which indicates that the studied samples are semiconductor. The dielectric dispersion occurs at a low-frequency regime and the loss peaks are formed in a higher frequency regime, which are due to the presence of resonance between applied frequency and hopping frequency of charge carriers. Notably, the loss peaks are shifted to the lower frequency with Li2CO3 additions.

The polycrystalline samples of Ba4CaRTi3Nb7O30 (R = Eu, Dy), members of tungsten-bronze family, were prepared by high-temperature solid state reaction method and studied for their dielectric and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals the formation of single-phase compounds having orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature. Microstructural analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the compounds have well defined grains, which are distributed uniformly throughout the sample. Detailed dielectric properties of the compounds as a function of frequency and temperature show that the compounds undergo non-relaxor kind of ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition of diffuse nature. Ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric studies of the compounds have been discussed in this paper. The temperature dependence of dc conductivity of the compounds have been investigated. The conductivity study over a wide temperature range suggests that the compounds have negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behaviour.

A series of colossal magneto resistance materials having compositional formula Re 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (Re = Nd, Gd, … etc.) were prepared by the sol-gel method, using Ethylene glycol as a gelating reagent. The materials were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction technique and are found to be single phase with orthorhombic structure. The particle size of all the materials were calculated using the well known Shearer formula and are found to be in the range of 20–45 nm. In order to determine the transition temperature (T c ), the DC electrical resistivity measurements were also carried out over a temperature range 80–300 K using the four probe method and it has been observed that the T c values are found to increase with increasing ionic size. Finally the magneto resistance measurements were also undertaken in the temperature range 80–300 K and it has been found that the MR values of these materials are better when compared with those prepared by the solid state reaction method.

ABSTRACTThick films (0.6 and 2.0 μm) of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) material, La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO), have been grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The films were grown from single-phase LCMO targets in 100 mTorr 02 pressures and the material deposited on (100) LaAlO3 substrates at deposition temperatures of 800°C. The deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic field-dependent resistivity, and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The LCMO films were shown by XRD to adopt an orthorhombic structure. Brief post-deposition annealing led to ~50,000% and ~12,000% MR effect in the 0.6 μm and 2.0 μm films, respectively.
