Abstract

In order to study the effect of A-site cation mismatch on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties, a systematic investigation of La0.7Ca0.25A0.05Mn0.8Cr0.2O3 (A = Ca, Li, Na, K) has been undertaken. The XRD data of the materials, prepared by glycine-nitrate combustion method, have been analyzed by Rietveld refinement technique. The iodometric and EDX results show that except K doped sample, the desired stoichiometry of all the phases remains the same. The phases display a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition at low temperature with Tc found to decrease with decreasing ˂rA˃. It has been concluded that the conduction mechanism was dominated by small polaron hopping model in the high temperature paramagnetic semiconducting region.
