Electrical, magnetoresistance and magnetotransport properties of Nd 1-xSrxMnO3
The effects of Sr substitution on the electrical, magnetoresistance and magnetotransport properties of Nd1-xSrxMnO3 were studied. Nd1-xSrxMnO3 samples were prepared using the solid-state reaction method with x=0.12, 0.152, 0.22, 0.252 and 0.32. All samples showed an orthorhombic structure, and no im...

The effects of Sr substitution on the electrical, magnetoresistance and magnetotransport properties of Nd1-xSrxMnO3 were studied. Nd1-xSrxMnO3 samples were prepared using the solid-state reaction method with x=0.12, 0.152, 0.22, 0.252 and 0.32. All samples showed an orthorhombic structure, and no impurities were detected when the samples were examined using the X-ray diffraction method. The grain size was between 10 μm and 16 μm for all samples. The sample with x=0.32 showed the smallest grain size and the lowest To value, where To reflects the MnOMn bond angle.
