Abstract
Polycrystalline La0.75-xGdxCa0.25MnO3 samples (x=0, 0.10, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, and 0.75) were prepared by the carbonate precipitation method. For a comparison the nanocrystalline samples with the same compositions were obtained by sol-gel method using urea as gelation agent. The XRD patterns were indexed in orthorhombically distorted perovskite-type unit cell. The unit cell volume steadily decreases with rising Gd content. Magnetic properties of La0.75-xGdxCa0.25MnO3 systems are discussed and compared to other magnetoresistive systems.
