Electrical transport properties of Pr1-xSrxMnO 3 (x = 0 to 0·45)

The electrical transport properties of polycrystalline Pr 1-xSrxMnO3 (x = 0 to 0·45) perovskite manganites prepared by the solid state reaction method have been studied. The insulator-metal transition temperature Tim shifted to higher temperatures when Sr content was increased. Generally, the averag...
