In this paper, nanosized La0.85Na0.15MnO3 (LNMO) has been synthesized via sol-gel method by involving two major steps, first the complexation of citric acid (CA) with metal ions (MI) and second the polyesterification between CA and ethylene glycol (EG). The effect of molar ratio CA:MI varying from 2-4 on structure, microstructure and electrical transport properties of LNMO have been investigated by constant the amount of EG. All samples show single perovskite phase with hexagonal structure and space group R3c after sintering at 800°C for 10h. Sample of molar ratio 2.5 is observed to possess smallest grain sizes which yield high resistivity value compared with others, is suggested to originate from the increase of tunneling barriers (grain boundaries). The large low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) of about ~ -16% at 0.1T and low temperature confirmed the important role of grain boundaries in the nanosized LNMO.

Manganite perovskite La1-xCaxMnO3(x=0.33, 0.5 and 0.9) have been prepared by chemical co-precipitation method. Ammonium carbonate was used to coprecipitate lanthanum, calcium and manganese ions as carbonates under basic condition. This precursor on calcining at 900°C yields La-Ca-Mn-O perovskite phase. Follow by sintering at 1200°C after the powders were pressed into pellets gave La1-xCaxMnO3(LCMO) polycrystalline ceramics. The crystal phases of the resulting powders and ceramics were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The morphology of the powders was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrical transport properties of ceramics were measured by conventional four-point probe technique.
