Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of SrMn0.9Ce0.1O3 (SMCO), synthesized via a high-temperature solid-state reaction method, unveiling its structural and electronic properties. The X-ray structural analysis reveals a distorted perovskite structure with hexagonal symmetry, supported by Goldschmidt's tolerance factor (0.95) and SISCO tolerance factor (4.02). The diffraction pattern analysis indicates an average crystallite size of 77.8 nm,  incorporated by the W–H plot with k = 0.89. SEM study reveals a calculated average grain size of approximately 19.2 μm in Ce-modified SMO ceramics. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the presence of Mn4+ and Ce4+ oxidation states in SMCO. Notably, a decrease in bulk resistance (Rb) from 1.020 × 105 Ω at 25 °C to 1.096 × 103 Ω at 500 °C suggests a negative temperature coefficient of resistance or semiconductor behaviour, corroborated by Z′ and Z″ plots. The material exhibits a coercivity of  2.257 kV/cm, remanent polarization of  0.041 μC/cm2, maximum electric field of  7.38 kV/cm, and maximum polarization of 0.215 μC/cm2, hinting at potential ferroelectric properties. With an optical bandgap energy of 4.53 eV for direct allowed transitions, SMCO holds promise for photovoltaic applications. Furthermore, the study indicates NTC thermistor and Ohmic conduction characteristics at selected temperatures, suggesting potential applications in electronic devices. This multifaceted analysis underscores the material's versatility and potential across a range of technological applications.
