The ( La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3)1-x/( CuFe 2O4)x (x = 0–0.15) composites were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. We have investigated the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of ( La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3)1-x/( CuFe 2 O 4)x composites using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, field cooled DC magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. The resistance measured as a function of temperature demonstrates that pure LCMO samples display metal to semiconductor transition. On the other hand, all the LCMO/CFO composites samples clearly present the electrical behavior of insulator/semiconductor. It indicates that resistivity of the samples increase systemically with the increase of CFO content. The MR was measured in the presence of 0.5 T field. At low temperatures, it is clearly observed that the MR effect is enhanced with x = 0.03 of CFO composition. In summary, the spin-polarized tunneling and the spin-dependent scattering may be helpful to the improved low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect. These phenomena can be explained by the segregation of a new phase related to CFO at the grain boundaries or surfaces of the LCMO grains.

The electrical–magnetic transport properties of (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3)(1-x)/(BN)x composites has been investigated systemically by conventional solid-state reaction method. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) show that BN and LCMO coexist in the composites and BN mainly goes into the grain boundary region without any chemical reaction with La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, which are in accordance with the results of the magnetic measurements. It is very interesting that with increasing of BN content level (x < 0.25), the metal–insulator transition temperature (TP) remains constant (nearly at 275K), and the resistivity increases very slowly. But when x > 0.25, TP shifts to lower temperature and the resistivity increases dramatically. The resistivity threshold of the composites occurred at x = 0.25, and specially the magnetoresistance (MR) reaches a maximum value (about 26.32 %) at 100K in an applied magnetic field of 3kOe. The results also indicate that the doped BN has an important effect on the low field MR (LFMR), which results from spin-polarized tunneling.

The composites of (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3)0.97/(ZnO)0.03were fabricated with having different sintering temperature by conventional solid state reaction methods, and their magnetoresistance (MR) properties and electrical transport were investigated. The result of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that no new phase appeared in the composites except LCMO and ZnO phases. specially, SEM results show that with increment of sintering temperature, the grain size of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3also increases, which plays a key on electrical and magnetic properties of the (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3)0.97/(ZnO)0.03composites. The electrical transport and magnetic was measured over a temperature range of 90 320K. tables etc. (2012H1B8A2026212), (NIPA-2013-H0301-13-2009)

The composites of (1-x)La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/xCoO and (1-x)La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/xCoO (x =0 ~ 0.09) were fabricated by conventional solid state reaction method, and their electrical transport and magnetoresistance (MR%) properties were investigated by physical property measurement system (PPMS). The result of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) indicated that no new phase appeared in the composites except manganites matrix and CoO phases. CoO is mainly distributed at the grain boundaries and surfaces of the matrix. The resistivity LCMO and LSMO based composites were measured in the range 90-320K and 90-400K, respectively. The applied magnetic field is 0T and 0.5T. The observed variation of MR with varying Ca and Sr concentration has been qualitatively investigated.

The polycrystalline samples of manganites perovskite [Formula: see text] with B-sites vacancies were synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The results based on the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analyses show that the samples with [Formula: see text] have a secondary phase of lanthanum oxides. It indicates there is a maximum vacancy content at the B-sites with [Formula: see text]. By X-ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS), the ionicities of oxygen were determined to be 0.762, 0.842, and 0.886, corresponding to [Formula: see text], 0.03, and 0.05, respectively. The B-sites vacancy plays an important role in magnetic performances: (i) B-sites vacancy changes the contents and the average cant angle of Mn cations, and makes the specific saturation magnetization at 100 K and 300 K increase, and then decrease rapidly. (ii) The Curie temperature changes in a small range from 363.93 K to 366.00 K, resulting from both the double exchange interaction increasing and the double exchange path destroyed by the vacancies. (iii) The magnetoresistance (MR) at room temperature achieves 6.97% in the [Formula: see text] sample, whose value is larger than that of [Formula: see text] sample.

Composites with compositions La0.7Ca0.3MnO3(LCMO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(LSMO)/SnO2 were prepared by a standard ceramic technique. The structure and morphology of the composites have been studied by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The XRD and SEM results indicate that no reaction occurs between La based maganite and SnO2 grains, and that SnO2 segregates mostly at the grain boundaries of La based maganite. The variation in resistivity with temperature has been studied and shows a semiconducting behavior, furthermore the composites exhibit metallic percolation. It is interesting to note that an enhanced magnetoresisitance (MR) effect for the composites is found over a wide temperature range from low temperature to room temperature in an applied magnetic field of 0.5 Tesla. The spin-polarized tunneling and the spin-polarized tunneling may be attributed to the enhanced low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect.

Conventional solid state reaction method was used to prepare BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 ceramics. Influence of Er3+ ion incorporation on their structural, microstructural and electrical properties was studied. The phase pure samples were obtained when heated at 1400 °C for overnight. The tetragonal perovskite phase of BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 was confirmed by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis which is in agreement with results obtained from Rietveld refinement analysis. The lattice parameters and unit cell volume of BaTiO3 increased when doped with Erbium. Microstructural analysis of BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 ceramics showed that the grain sizes of BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 significantly decreased. The dielectric properties of BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 were investigated as a function of temperature and frequency. It revealed that the Curie temperature (TC) increased by doping Er content from 110 °C to 120 °C. Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 exhibited the high value of dielectric constant (ε=5929) at TC of 120 °C. The capacitance-voltage characteristic revealed that the voltage breakdown for both BaTiO3 and Ba0.99Er0.01TiO3 exceeded 30 V.

AbstractIn this work the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman and dielectric studies of lead free perovskite (1 – x)Ba0.06(Na1/2Bi1/2)0.94TiO3–xNaNbO3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1.0) ceramics, prepared using a standard solid state reaction method, were investigated. X-ray diffraction studies of all the ceramics suggested the formation of single phase with crystal structure transforming from rhombohedral-tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry with the increase in NaNbO3 content. Raman spectra also confirmed the formation of solid solution without any new phase. Dielectric studies showed that the phase transition is of diffusive character and diffusivity parameter decreases with increasing NaNbO3 content. The compositional fluctuation was considered to be the main cause of diffusivity.

Ceramic sample of La0.70Ba0.30Mn0.40Ti0.60O3 oxide has been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The sintered sample was characterized by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and low frequency LCR meter. XRD result shows that the sample has a cubic structure with the existence of impurity phase. The dielectric properties of La0.70Ba0.30Mn0.40Ti0.60O3 measured from room temperature to 200°C shows that the dielectric permittivity is temperature dependence with strong dispersion at low frequencies. A circuit model based on the universal capacitor response function is also being used to represent the dielectric properties of the sample.
