Structure and Properties of Nonstoichiometric La1 – x Na x MnO3 ± γ Solid Solutions

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The structural, electrical, magnetic, and magnetoresistive properties of polycrystalline La1 – x Na x MnO3 ± γ are studied in the range 0.08 ≤ x ≤ 0.16. The solid solutions contain La and O vacancies and crystallize in the space group Rc. The Curie temperature of the solid solutions depends not only on the formal charge state of Mn but also on the Na content, the amounts of La and O vacancies, and synthesis conditions. The synthesized materials are potentially attractive as room-temperature magnetic sensors.
