Abstract
The structural, optical, and electrical properties of SmCrO3 doped on the two cation sites were studied using electron probe x-ray microanalysis, ellipsometry, and conductivity measurements. The results for the Sm0.8Ca0.2Cr0.92Cu0.08O3 solid solution demonstrate that hydrogen reduction at 1270 or 1620 K produces significant microstructural changes and leads to Ca2+ or Cu2+ segregation at grain boundaries. Both doping and hydrogen reduction influence the electrical and optical properties of samarium chromite.
