Abstract
The manganites Pr1 – xSrxMnO3 (x = 0, 0.15, or 0.25) prepared by a solid state synthesis method at a temperature of 1250°C have an orthorhombic perovskite-like structure (the Pbnm space group). To investigate the effect that the substitution of strontium for praseodymium has on temperature-related features of crystal lattice transformation in the considered perovskites, we perform multifaceted characterization of the samples using high-temperature X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. We find that adding strontium considerably lowers the temperature of Jahn–Teller effect. The conduction of all considered samples exhibits a semiconducting behavior. Doping with strontium raises the electrical conductivity of the praseodymium manganites, especially at temperatures below 450°C.
