Low-Doped La0.54Ho0.11Sr0.35Mn1-XVxO3 Manganites: Vanadium Influence on Transport Phenomena and Magnetic Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Transport phenomena in manganites (ABO3), and indirectly the transition temperature from metallic to insulator state (TMI), can be controlled by hole doping and the average ionic size at A positions (). In agreement with Zener theory, the strength of double exchange is determined by the Mn-O length (dMnO) and Mn-O-Mn angles () of the Mn-O-Mn bonds. We will investigate the influence of substitution of Mn with V on the crystalline structure and transport characteristics in La0.54Ho0.11Sr0.35Mn1-xVxO3 manganites. The samples were prepared by sol-gel method to improve the purity and homogeneity of the samples. By XRD it was established that the samples contain only ABO3 perovskite phases, except the samples with x0.1. The resistance of the samples vs temperature was determined by four probes method. The specific magnetization was obtained by using a Foner type magnetometer, working at 1.4 T, between 77 and 400 K.
