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 R3¯c. 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.
