Abstract

This letter reports the effect of the A-site doping (2, 4, and 6 mol% Bi and Li) on the piezoresistance phenomenon in La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSMO) polycrystalline ceramics. The fractional change in resistivity was found to be nominal for Li-modified samples but samples modified with 4 and 6 mol% Bi2O3 exhibited 1.8% and 2.3% fractional change in resistivity \( [(\rho _{o} - \rho _{\sigma } )/\rho _{o} ] \) at 19.2 MPa which is significantly higher than that for pure LSMO. The enhancement in piezoresistive phenomenon is attributed to distortion of Mn–O bond due to substitution of smaller ion on to La-site. All the samples showed a sudden increase in resistivity with applied stress in the range of 0.5–2 MPa and the behavior was found to saturate as the magnitude of applied stress increases. Magnetic measurements as a function of field and temperature were conducted to confirm the A-site substitution.
