Abstract

We have already reported the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of Li-doped La0.65Ca0.35−xLixMnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) system. With a perspective to understand the impact of substitution for higher doping level of Li at A-site which may cause drastic changes in structural, magnetic, and transport properties, Li-doped La0.65Ca0.35−xLixMnO3 (x = 0.20, 0.25) manganites were prepared via Pechini method. Their crystal structures were authenticated by the interpretation of XRD data by means of the Rietveld refinement method. Both the phases exhibit transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic state (PM–FM) and from semiconductor to metal at lower temperature. The experimental magnetic moment has been found to be slightly smaller than the theoretical one, which may possibly be because of magnetic inhomogeneity, such as spin glass behavior. It has been noted that the maximum resistivity (ρmax) increases from 1.26 to 12.13 Ω cm, while the temperature corresponding to metal–semiconductor transition (TMS) shifts to lower temperature as x varies from 0.20 to 0.25. The resistivity data suggest that the conduction in the phases is dominated by the adiabatic small polaron hopping (ASPH) model.
